Q2 of 805 Page 10

Construct an equilateral triangle of side 5.5 cm..

Given: length of side of equilateral triangle is 5.5cm


To construct: an equilateral triangle


Steps for construction


Step 1: We have to draw a line segment AB as 5.5cm



Step 2 : We have to draw an arc , taking A as center and radius 5.5cm



Step 3 : We have to another arc, with radius 5.5cm and center at B and mark the intersection of arcs as C.



Step 4 : We have to join AC and BC



This is the required triangle
