• A. $\text{Draw 5cm, 6cm arcs}\text{from A and B}$
• B. $Drawa3cmlineAB$
• C. $JoinA,CandB,C$
• D. $MarkintersectionasC$

Answer 1

The steps for Constructing this triangle is as follows:

Step 1:
Draw a line segment AB of length 3 cm.

Step 2:
Draw an arc of radius 5 cm and 6cm with A and B as centre respectively.

Step 4:
Mark the point of intersection as C.

Step 5:
Join the A,C and B,C to get the required triangle as shown below.
