Question

Construct a triangle with sides 3 cm 4 cm and 5 cm Draw its circumcircle and measure its radius

Accepted Answer

Solution A closed twodimensional shape is a triangle It is a polygon with three sides Straight lines make up all of the sides The vertex is the intersection of two straight lines The triangle therefore has three vertices Angles are formed by each vertex Steps to construct Step 1 Draw a line segment BC 4cm Step 2 With Center as B and radius 3cm with center as C and radius 5cm draw two arcs which intersect each other at point A Step 3 Join AB and AC Step 4 Draw the perpendicular bisector of sides BC and AC which intersects each other at point O Step 5 Join OB Step 6 With center as O and radius OB draw a circle which pass through A B C Step 7 On measuring the radius OB 25cm
