∆ ABC ~ ∆ LMN. In ∆ ABC, AB = 5.5 cm, BC = 6 cm, CA = 4.5 cm. Construct ∆ ABC and ∆ LMN such that

First we draw a triangle ABC, with AB = 5.5 cm, BC = 6 cm and CA = 4.5 cm



Now, as ΔABC is similar to ΔLMN


∴ corresponding sides will have same ratio


Now, as




⇒ LM = 4.4 cm



⇒ MN = 4.8 cm



⇒ LN = 3.6 cm


Now, make a ΔLMN, with LM = 4.4 cm, MN = 4.8 cm and LN = 3.6 cm
