Question 43 Marks
Draw a right triangle having hypotenuse of length $5.4\ cm$, and one of the acute angles of measure $30^\circ $.
Answer

Let $ABC$ be the right triangle at $A$ such that hypotenuse $BC = 5.4\ cm$. Let $C = 30^\circ .$
Therefore $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ\angle\text{B}$ $=180^\circ-30^\circ-90^\circ=60^\circ.$
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw a line segment $BC = 5.4\ cm.$
Step II: Draw angle $CBY = 60^\circ .$​​​​​​​
Step III: Draw angle $BCX$ of measure $30^\circ $ with $X$ on the same side of $BC$ as $Y$.
Step IV: Let $BY$ and $CX$ intersect at $A$.
Step V: Then $ABC$ is the required triangle.
