Question

Steps for the construction of a right triangle LMN in which $\angle M={90}^{\circ }$, MN = 4 cm and LN = 6.2 cm is given below. Choose the correct order.

1. Draw a line segment XY.
2. Construct a line segment MP, sufficiently large such that $\angle NMP={90}^{\circ }$
3. With N as centre and radius 6.2 cm draw an arc, cutting MP at L, join NL.
4. Locate M and N on XY such that MN = 4 cm.

• A. 2,1,3,4
• B. 2,3,1,4
• C. 1,4,3,2
• D. 1,4,2,3

Answer 1
