Solution
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw a line segment BC = 5.6 cm
(ii) With centres B and C and radius 5 cm, draw two arcs intersecting each other at A.
(iii) Join AB and AC.
∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle.
(iv) Draw the bisector of ∠A. This is the only one line of symmetry as the triangle is an isosceles.
