Question
Construct ∆ABC, in which BC = 6.2 cm, ∠ACB = 50°, AB + AC = 9.8 cm.
✓
Answer
As shown in the rough figure draw seg CB = 6.2 cm
Draw a ray CT making an angle of 50° with CB
Take a point D on ray CT, such that
CD = 9.8 cm
Now, CA + AD = CD [C-A-D]
∴ CA + AD = 9.8 cm …….(i)
Also, AB + AC = 9.8 cm ……(ii) [Given]
∴ CA + AD = AB + AC [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ AD = AB
∴ Point A is on the perpendicular bisector of seg DB
∴ The point of intersection of ray CT and perpendicular bisector of seg DB is point A.
Steps of construction:
i. Draw seg BC of length 6.2 cm.
ii. Draw ray CT, such that ∠BCT = 50°.
iii. Mark point D on ray CT such that l(CD) = 9.8 cm.
iv. Join points D and B.
v. Draw perpendicular bisector of seg DB intersecting ray CT. Name the point as A.
vi. Join the points A and B.
Hence, ∆ABC is the required triangle.
