Q1 of 805 Page 10

Construct ΔXYZ in which XY = 4.5 cm, YZ = 5 cm and ZX = 6 cm.


Given: (i) XY = 4.5cm


(ii) YZ = 5 cm


(iii) ZX = 6 cm


To construct: a XYZ


Steps for construction


Step 1 : First we will draw a line segment XY of length 4.5cm



Step 2 : We have to draw an arc , taking X as center and radius 6cm



Step 3 : We have to another arc, with radius 5cm and center at Y and mark the intersection of arcs as Z.



Step 4 : We have to join XZ and XY



This is the required triangle
