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.
