Solution
Steps of construction:
- Draw the Base:
- Since ST = 4 cm ST = 4 cm using a ruler.
- Construct the Right Angle at T:
- Place the protractor at point T on the line ST.
- Mark a point where the angle measures 90∘
- Draw a perpendicular line from T.
- Mark the Hypotenuse SU:
- Set your compass to measure 5 cm (the length of the hypotenuse).
- Place the compass point at S and draw an arc intersecting the perpendicular line from T.
- Label the intersection as point U.
- Complete the Triangle:
- Connect U to S and U to T.
You now have a right-angled triangle ∆STU with SU = 5 cm and ST = 4 cm.
