Solution
Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment AB = 5.5 cm.
2. At A draw AE such that ∠BAE = 25°.
3. At A draw AF such that ∠EAF = 90°.
4. Draw the perpendicular bisector of AB which intersects AF at O and AB at G.
5. With O as centre and OB as radius draw a circle.
6. XY intersects AB at G. On XY, from G mark an arc at M. Such that GM = 4 cm.
7. Through M draw a line parallel to AB intersect the circle at C and D.
8. Join AC and BC.
9. ∆ABC is the required triangle.
