Q4 of 17 Page 290

Construct a right triangle whose base is 7.5cm. and sum of its hypotenuse and other side is 15cm.

Given base(BC) = 7.5cm and AB + AC = 15cm and B = 90°


Steps of construction:


Step 1: Draw the base BC = 7.5cm



Step 2: Make an XBC = 90° at the point B of base BC.



Step 3: Cut the line segment BD equals to AB + AC i.e. 15cm from the ray


XB.



Step 4: Join DC and make an angle bisector of DCB.



Step 5: Let Y intersect BX at A.



Thus, ΔABC is the required triangle.
