Construct a right-angled triangle whose perimeter is equal to $10\ cm$ and one acute angle equal to $60^o$.


Given:

A right-angled triangle whose perimeter is equal to $10\ cm$ and one acute angle equal to $60^o$.

To do:

We have to construct the given triangle.

Solution:


Steps of construction:

(i) Draw a line segment $PQ = 10\ cm$.

(ii) At $P$, draw a ray $PX$ making an angle of $90^o$ and at $Q, QY$ making an angle of $60^o$.

(iii) Draw the angle bisectors of $\angle P$ and $\angle Q$ meeting each other at $A$.

(iv) Draw the perpendicular bisectors of $AP$ and $AQ$ intersecting $PQ$ at $B$ and $C$ respectively,

(v) Join $AB$ and $AC$.

Therefore,

$\triangle ABC$ is the required triangle.
