Solution
Given, in ΔABC,BC=5cm,∠B=60∘ and AC + AB = 7.5cm. to
Steps to construct the triangle ABC
(i) Draw the base BC = 5cm.
(ii) At the point B make an ∠XBC=60∘
(iii) Cut a line segment BD equal to AB + AC= 7.5cm on the ray BE.
(iv) Join DC.
(v) Make an ∠DCY=∠BDC
(vi) Let CY intersect BE at A. Then, ΔABCis the required triangle.
