Question

Draw triangles with the measures given below.

In ∆PRS, l(RS) = 5.5 cm, l(RP) = 4.2 cm, m ∠R = 90^°

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 $\angle$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.
