Question

Steps for the construction of a triangle ABC in which AB=4.5cm, AC= 5cm and length of perpendicular from A to BC is 3.6cm is given below. Choose the correct order.

1.With M as centre and radius 3.6cm, draw an arc ,cutting MZ at A.
2.Take point M on XY.
3.Draw a line sesegment XY.
4.With A as centre and radii 4.5cm and 5cm ,draw arcs cutting XY.
5.Draw ZM $\perp$ XY, with MZ sufficiently large.
