Question

The steps to construct triangle $ABC$ with sides $AB=5cm,BC=4.3cm,$ and $AC=4cm$ are given below. Choose the correct order of the steps.

1. With A as the center and a radius of $4cm$, draw an arc.
2. Draw a line segment that is sufficiently long using a ruler.
3. Join $AC$ and $BC$.
4. Taking $B$ as the center and a radius of 4.3 cm, draw another arc cutting the previous arc at $C$.
5. Locate points $A$ and $B$ on it such that $AB=5cm.$

• A. $5,2,1,4,3$
• B. $2,5,1,4,3$
• C. $2,5,1,3,4$
• D. $5,1,2,4,3$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2,5,1,4,3$

The steps to construct triangle $ABC$ with sides $AB=5cm,BC=4.3cm,$ and $AC=4cm$ in in the correct order are as follows:

1. Draw a line segment that is sufficiently long using a ruler.
2. Locate points $A$ and $B$ on it such that $AB=5cm.$
3. With $A$ as the center and a radius of $4cm,$ draw an arc.
4. Taking $B$ as the center and a radius of $4.3cm$, draw another arc cutting the previous arc at C.
5. Join $AC$ and $BC$.
