Q11 of 45 Page 474

Construct a ΔABC in which ∠B = 30°, ∠C = 60° and the length of the perpendicular from the vertex A to the base BC is 4.8 cm.

Steps of Construction


1. Draw a line segment XY.


2. Take any point P on XY and draw PQ⊥XY.


3. Along PQ, set off PA= 4.8 cm.



4. Through A, draw LM∥XY.


5. Construct ∠LAB=30° and ∠MAC = 60° meeting XY at B and C respectively.
