Given:

$BC=7\ cm, \angle B=75^o$ and $AB+AC=13\ cm$.

To do:

We have to construct a $\triangle ABC$.

Solution:

Steps of construction:

(i) Let us draw a line segment $BC$ of length $7\ cm$.

(ii) Now, construct an angle $CBX=75^o$ from point $B$.

(iii) Now, by taking a measure of $AB+AC=13\ cm$ with the compasses, let us draw an arc from point $B$ on the ray $BX$ and mark the intersection of the arc with ray $BX$ as point $D$.

(iv) Now, let us join $DC$. Then by taking compasses let us draw a perpendicular bisector of the line $DC$ and mark the intersection point of the bisector with ray $BX$ as $A$

(v) Now, let us join $AC$. Therefore, $ABC$ is the required triangle.
