Question

Construct triangles of the measures given below.
In the right-angled ∆STU, hypotenuse SU = 5 cm and l(ST) = 4 cm.

Answer 1

Steps of construction
1. Draw a line ST = 4 cm.
2. With T as centre, draw ∠XTS = 90º.
3. With S as centre and 5 cm as radius, cut an arc on XT and name it as point U.
4. Join US.
∆UST is thus formed.
