Solution
BC = 6cm, AC = 5.0cm and ∠C = 60°
Steps of Construction:
1. Draw a line segment BC = 6cm.
2. With C as centre, draw an arc to cut BC at P.
3. With P as centre and the same radius, cut the arc at Q.
4. Draw a ray CX passing Q. CX makes an angle of 60° with BC.
5. With C as centre and radius 5cm cut an arc on CX and mark the point as A.
6. Join AB.
Thus, ABC is the required triangle.
