Construct a triangle with sides 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm.

Given :

The given sides of the triangle are 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm.

To do :

We have to construct a triangle with given sides.

Solution :

Construction of a triangle :

To construct a triangle when the lengths of all three sides are given, we need the a

Ruler and a Compass

Example : 

Construct a triangle $ABC$ given that $AB = 4cm, BC = 6 cm$ and $AC = 5 cm$.

Step 1 :

Draw a line segment $BC  =  6cm$.

Step 2 :

With ‘$B$’ as the center, draw an arc of radius $4 cm$ above the line $BC$.

Step 3 :

With ‘$C$’ as the center, draw an arc of $5 cm$ to intersect the previous arc at ‘$A$’.

Step 4 :

Join $AB$ and $AC$.  Now $ABC$ is the required triangle.
