Question

Construct triangle ABC, when: AB = BC = 5 cm and AC = 3 cm. Measure angles A and C. Is ∠A = ∠C?

Answer 1

Steps of Construction:

(1) Draw a line AB = 5 cm.

(2) Using compasses and taking B as center, draw an arc of 5 cm radius.

(3) With A as a center, draw an arc of 3 cm radius, which cuts the previous arc at C.

(4) Join AC and BC.
