Question

Construct $\Delta$ XYZ in which XY = 4.5 cm, YZ = 5 cm and ZX = 6 cm.

Answer 1

To construct: $\Delta$ XYZ where XY = 4.5 cm, YZ = 5 cm and ZX = 6 cm
Steps of construction:


(a) Draw a line segment YZ = 5 cm.
(b) Taking Z as centre and radius 6 cm, draw an arc.
(c) Similarly, Y as centre and radius 4.5 cm, draw an arc which intersects first arc at point X.
(d) Join XY and XZ.
It is the required $\Delta$ XYZ.
