Question

Construct △XYZ such that XY = 6 cm, ∠X= 30°, and ∠Y=100°. Find the length of YZ. [4 Marks]

Answer 1

Steps of construction:
Step 1: Draw line segment XY = 6 cm.
Step 2: At X, construct ∠X = 30° (using a protractor).
Step 3: At Y, construct ∠Y = 100° (using a protractor).
Step 4: Mark the intersection point as Z.
