Question

Construct an equilateral triangle using the given data: Altitude PM = 3.6 cm

Answer 1

Altitude PM = 3.6 cm

Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment ST of any length.
2. Through a point M on ST, draw PM perpendicular to ST such that PM = 3.6 cm.
3. Through P, draw PQ and PR making angles equal to 30° with PM and meeting ST at Q and R respectively.
Thus, PQR is the required triangle.
