Question
Construct an equilateral triangle using the given data: Altitude AD = 5 cm
Advertisements
Solution
Altitude AD = 5 cm
Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment PQ of any length.
2. Through a point D on PQ, draw AD perpendicular to PQ such that AD = 5 cm.
3. Through A, draw AB and AC making angles equal to 30° with AD and meeting PQ at B and C respectively.
Thus, ABC is the required triangle.
