Solution

Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment BC = 6 cm.
2. Find the mid point O of BC.
3. With O as the centre and a radius equal to OB, draw a semicircle on BC.
4. With B as the centre and a radius equal to 4.5 cm, draw an arc cutting the semicircle at A.
4. Join AB and AC.
Thus, $∆$ ABC is the required triangle.
