Question

Draw triangles with sides as given below.

DE = 3.5 cm, EF = 4.5 cm, FD = 5.5 cm

Answer 1

The steps for construction of the required triangle are as follows:

1. Draw a line segment DE of length 3.5 cm.

2. Take D as the centre and 5.5 cm as the radius to draw part of a circle.

3. Take E as the centre and 4.5 cm as the radius to draw part of a circle.

4. Mark a point F where these parts of circles intersect.

5. Join FD and EF.

Thus, ΔDEF is the required triangle.
