Draw a triangle ∆PRS with the measures given below.
RS = 5.5 cm, RP = 4.2 cm, ∠R = ${90}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line RS = 5.5 cm.
2. With R as centre, draw an angle of 90° and name it as ∠XRS.
3. With R as centre and 4.2 cm radius in compass, cut an arc on XR and name it P.
Join PS.
∆PRS is the required triangle.
