Using a ruler and compasses only Construct a triangle ABC with the following data Base AB 6 cm AC 52 cm and CAB 60

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 AB 6cm Step 2 At point A draw a ray making an angle of 60o Step 3 With B as the center and radius 52cm draw an arc which intersects the ray at C Step 4 Join BC Step 5 Draw the perpendicular bisector of sides AB and BC which intersects each other at point O Step 6 With center as O and radius OA draw a circle which touches through the points A B C
