3: Construct a ∆PQR, in which PQ = 6 cm, QR = 7 cm and PR = 8 cm. Then, construct another
a triangle whose sides are 4/5 times the corresponding sides of ∆PQR.
Answer:
Steps of construction:
Draw a line segment PQ = 6 cm.
Draw an arc, using P as a center and radius = 8 cm
Draw another arc, using Q as a center and radius = 7 cm
Now, join PR and QR to get △PQR
Draw a ray PX by making an acute angle, angle QPX
Divide PX into 4 equal parts 7.
Join P5Q
Draw a line P4Q' which is parallel to P5Q
Similar to step 8, draw a line Q’R’ which is parallel to QR
