Question 99
Draw a triangle whose sides are of lengths 4 cm, 5 cm and 7 cm.

Answer 1

Let us assume that given sides are BC = 7 cm, AB = 4 cm and AC = 5 cm

Steps of construction
Step I Draw a line BC = 7 cm.
Step II With centre B and radius 4 cm draw an arc.
Step III With centre C and radius 5 cm, draw an arc which cuts the previous arc at A.
Step IV Join AB and AC.

Hence, $\Delta ABC$ is the required triangle in which AB = 4 cm, BC = 7 cm and AC = 5 cm.
