Question

Construct $△XYZ$ with $YZ=5cm,XY=4cm$ and $XY=7cm$.

Answer 1

Given that

$YZ=5CM$

$XY=4CM$

$XY=7CM$

Step of construction

(i) Draw a line segment $XY=7cm$

(ii) with $Y$ as centre and radius $5cm$ draw an arc

(iii) with $X$ as centre and radius $4cm$ draw another arc cutting the previous arc at $Z$.

(iv) Join $YZ$ and $XZ$ then

$\Delta YXZ$ is the required triangle.
