Construct a $\triangle ABC$ in which $BC = 3.4\ cm, AB - AC = 1.5\ cm$ and $\angle B = 45^o$.


Given:

A $∆ABC$ in which $BC = 3.4\ cm, AB - AC = 1.5\ cm$ and $\angle B = 45^o$.

To do:

We have to construct the given triangle.

Solution:


Steps of construction:

(i) Draw a line segment $BC = 3.4\ cm$.

(ii) At $B$, draw a ray $BX$ making an angle of $45^o$ and cut off $BE = 1.5\ cm$.

(iii) Join $EC$.

(iv) Draw the perpendicular bisector of $CE$ which intersects $BE$ produced at $A$.

(v) Join $AC$.

Therefore,

$\triangle ABC$ is the required triangle.
