Construct a triangle XYZ, in which XY = 6 cm, YZ = 8 cm and ZX = 5.5 cm.
Construction of ΔXYZ, where XY = 6 cm, YZ = 8 cm and ZX = 5.5 cm.
Steps of construction:
(i) Draw XY = 6 cm.
(ii) Using the compass, with X and Y as centers and respective radii as 5.5 cm and 8 cm, draw arcs which cut each other at point Z.
Here, ΔXYZ is the required triangle.
