Question
Construct ∆PQR, such that QR = 6.5 cm, ∠PQR = 60° and PQ – PR = 2.5 cm.
✓
Answer
Here, PQ – PR = 2.5 cm
∴ PQ > PR
As shown in the rough figure draw seg QR = 6.5 cm
Draw a ray QT making on angle of 60° with QR
Take a point S on ray QT, such that QS = 2.5 cm.
Now, PQ – PS = QS [Q-S-T]
∴ PQ – PS = 2.5 cm ……(i) [Given]
Also, PQ – PR = 2.5 cm …..(ii) [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ PQ – PS = PQ – PR
∴ PS = PR
∴ Point P is on the perpendicular bisector of seg RS
∴ Point P is the intersection of ray QT and the perpendicular bisector of seg RS
Steps of construction:
i. Draw seg QR of length 6.5 cm.
ii. Draw ray QT, such that ∠RQT = 600.
iii. Mark point S on ray QT such that l(QS) = 2.5 cm.
iv. Join points S and R.
v. Draw perpendicular bisector of seg SR intersecting ray QT. Name the point as P.
vi. Join the points P and R.
Hence, ∆PQR is the required triangle.
