Solution
Steps of Construction:
We know that in an isosceles triangle base angles are equal.

(i) Draw a line segment BC = 4 cm.
(ii) At B and C, draw rays making an angle of 30° each intersecting each other at A.
∆ ABC is the required triangle.
On measuring the equal sides each is 2.5 cm (approx.) in length.
