Construct a triangle XYZ with the given conditions.

XY = 6.4 cm, ZY = 7.7 cm and XZ = 5 cm

Answer 1

Construction:

Step 1: Draw a line. Marked Y and Z on the line such that YZ = 7.7 cm.

Step 2: With Y as centre drawn an arc of radius 6.4 cm above the line YZ.

Step 3: With Z as centre, drawn an arc or radius 5 cm to intersect arc drawn in steps.

Marked the point of intersection as X.

Step 4: Joined YX and ZX.

Now XYZ is the required triangle.
