Q13 of 805 Page 12

Construct a in which BC = 4.5 cm, and the sum of the other two sides is 8 cm.

Steps of Construction:


1. Draw BC = 4.5 cm



2. Construct ∠ CBX = 60°



3. Along BX set off BP= 8 cm



4. Join CP.



5. Draw the perpendicular bisector of CP intersecting BP at A.



6. Join AC.



Therefore, Δ ABC is the required triangle.
