Q8 of 33 Page 11

Construct a triangle whose sides are 3.6 cm, 3.0 cm and 4.8 cm. Measure all the angles.

Steps of Construction:

(i) Draw a line segment AB = 3.6 cm.



(ii) Draw an arc with A as centre and 3.0 cm as radius and draw another arc with B as centre and 4.8 cm as radius to intersect each other at C. Join AC and BC.



Thus, we get the required triangle ABC.


On measuring all the angles, we get





∠A = 93°, ∠B = 38.6° and ∠C = 48.4°
