उत्तर
Steps of construction:
(i) Draw a line segment BC= 7.3 cm.
(ii) With Bas centre and radius 6 cm draw an arc.
(iii) With C as centre and radius 5.2 cm draw another arc which intersects the first arc at A.
(iv) Join AB and AC.
(v) Draw perpendicuIar bisector of BC , AB and AC.
In triangIe ABC, P is the point of intersection of AB , AC and BC.
Therefore, PA = PB, PB = PC, PC = PA.
Thus, circum-centre of a triangle is the point which is equidistant from all its vertices.
