Q4 of 805 Page 12

Construct a whose perimeter is 12 cm and whose base angles are 45° and 60°.

Step 1: Draw the line segment PQ = 12cm



Step 2: Construct the base angles at P and Q i.e. <XPQ=45° and <YQP=60°



Step 3: Bisect <XPQ and <YQP to meet at A



Step 4: Perpendicularly bisect AP and AQ to meet the bases at B and C respectively



Step 5: Join AB and AC to get the required triangle



So, ∆ABC is the required triangle


AB+BC+BC = 12cm


Base angles <ABC=45° and <ACB=60°
