Q14 of 24 Page 12

Construct a triangle with sides 5 cm, 5.5 cm and 6.5 cm. Now construct another triangle, whose sides are 3/5 times the corresponding sides of the given triangle.

steps of construction


1. At first drawn a base line BC of length 5.5 cm with the help of scale


2. Taking B as center draw a arc of radius 5 cm with the help of compass


3. Similarly taking C as center draw a arc of radius 6.5 cm with the help of compass


4. The intersection of both arcs give point A


5. Join AB and AC thus completing the triangle ABC



Similarly by taking this length follow the above steps to make new triangle
