Question

Steps for the construction of a scalene triangle with dimensions as 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm is given below. Choose the correct order.

1. To locate C which is 8 cm from A and 6 cm from B, we draw circles of 8 cm and 6 cm centered at A and B respectively using a compass.
2. Draw AB of length 10 cm using a ruler.
3. Join BC and AC to get triangle ABC.
4. The two circles meet at two different points, one on upside and other on downside. Pick any of them and name it as C.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D 2,1,4,3



Step 1. Draw AB of length 10 cm using a ruler

Step 2. To locate C which is 8 cm from A and 6 cm from B, we draw circles of 8 cm and 6 cm centered at A and B respectively using a compass.

Step 3. The two circles meet at two different points, one on upside and other on downside. Pick any of them and name it as C.

Step 4. Join BC and AC to get triangle ABC
