Q2 of 59 Page 152

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

Step1: construct segment AC of 4.3 cm



Step2: take 5 cm in compass and keep the needle of the compass on point A and draw an arc above AC



Step3: keeping the distance in the compass same 5 cm keep the needle of the compass on point C and draw an arc intersecting the previous arc. Mark the intersection point as point B



Step4: join points AB and BC and ΔABC is ready
