Solution
Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment QR = 6.5 cm.
2. At Q draw QE such that ∠RQE = 60°.
3. At Q, draw QF such that ∠EQF = 90°.
4. Draw the perpendicular of QR which intersects QF at O and QR at G.
5. With O as centre and OQ as radius draw a circle.
6. XY intersects QR at G. On XY, from G mark an arc at M. Such that GM = 4.5 cm.
7. Draw AB through M which is parallel to QR.
8. AB Meets the circle at P and S.
9. Join QP and RP.
10. ∆PQR is the required triangle.
