Question
Construct a triangle with sides 5cm, 5.5cm and 6.5cm. Now construct another triangle, whose sides are $\frac{3}{5}$ times the corresponding sides of the given triangle.
✓
Answer
Steps of construction:
- Draw line segment BC = 5.5cm.
- With centre B and radius 5cm and with centre C and radius 6.5cm, draw arcs which intersect each other at A.
- Join BA and CA. $\triangle\text{ABC}$ is the given triangle.
- At B, draw a ray BX making an acute angle and cut off 5 equal parts from BX.
- Join C5 and draw 3D || 5C which meets BC at D.
