Q1 of 59 Page 152

Construct a triangle ABC in which AB = 5 cm, BC = 4.7 cm and AC = 4.3 cm.

Step1: construct a segment AB of 5 cm



Step2: take distance 4.7 cm in compass and keep the needle of compass on point B and mark an arc above segment AB



Step3: now take distance 4.3 cm in compass keep the needle of compass on point A and mark an arc intersecting the previous one. Mark the intersection point as C



Step4: join AC and BC and ΔABC is ready
