Question 44 Marks
Draw a right triangle having hypotenuse of length 5.4cm, and one of the acute angles of measure 30°.
Answer
Let ABC be the right triangle at A such that hypotenuse BC = 5.4cm. Let C = 30°.
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 = 5.4cm.
