Question 25 Marks

Construct a triangle PQR such that PQ = QR = 5 .5 cm and angle PQR = 90°. If possible, draw its lines of symmetry.

Answer

$\therefore \angle P Q R=90^{\circ}$, and $\angle P=\angle R$ ...........(opposite sides are equal)
$
\therefore \angle P +\angle R =90^{\circ}
$
Hence $Z P=Z R==45^{\circ}$
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line segment $Q R=5.5 cm$

(ii) At $Q$, draw a ray making an angle of $90^{\circ}$ and cut off $Q P=5.5 cm$.
(iii) Join PR.
$\triangle PQR$ is an isosceles triangle.
(iv) Draw the angle bisector of $\angle P Q R$. It is the line of symmetry.
Since the triangle is an isosceles.
$\therefore$ It has only one line of symmetry.
