Construct $∆DEF$ such that $DE = 5\ cm$, $DF = 3\ cm$ and $\angle EDF = 90^{\circ}$.
To do: To construct $∆DEF$ such that $DE = 5\ cm$, $DF = 3\ cm$ and $\angle EDF = 90^{\circ}$.
Steps of construction :
- Let us draw a line segment $DE=5\ cm$.
- At the point $D$, let us draw a ray $DX$ making an angle of $90^{\circ}$ with $DE$ such that $\angle EDX=90^{\circ}$.
- Let us assume $D$ as the center and draw an arc of radius $3\ cm$ that intersects $DX$ at the point $F$.
- Let us join $EF$ to get the required triangle.
$\triangle DEF$ is the required triangle.
Hence constructed!
