Question
Construct the triangles with given measures.
∆ABC: l(AB) = 5 cm, l(BC) = 5.5, l(AC) = 6 cm.
∆ABC: l(AB) = 5 cm, l(BC) = 5.5, l(AC) = 6 cm.

Answer
Steps of construction :
Step 1 : As shown in the rough figure, draw seg BC of length 5.5 cm as the base.
Step 2 : By taking a distance of 5 cm on the compass and placing the metal tip of the compass on point B, draw an arc on one side of BC.
Step 3 : By taking a distance 6 cm on the compass and placing the metal tip of the t compass on point C and draw an arc ’ such that it intersects the previous arc. Name the point as A.
Step 4 : Draw segments AB and AC to get the triangle. ∆ABC is the required triangle.
