Construct a triangle whose perimeter is $6.4\ cm$, and angles at the base are $60^o$ and $45^o$.


Given:

A triangle whose perimeter is $6.4\ cm$, and angles at the base are $60^o$ and $45^o$.

To do:

We have to construct the given triangle.

Solution:


Steps of construction:

(i) Draw a line segment $PQ = 6.4\ cm$.

(ii) At $P$ draw a ray $PX$ making an angle of $60^o$ and at $Q$, a ray $QY$ making an angle of $45^o$.

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

(iv) Draw the perpendicular bisectors of $PA$ and $QA$ intersecting $PQ$ at $B$ and $C$ respectively.

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

Therefore,

$\triangle ABC$ is the required triangle.
