Solution
Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment BC = 5.6 cm.
2. At B draw BE such that ∠CBE = 40°.
3. At B draw BF such that ∠EBF = 90°.
4. Draw the perpendicular bisector to BC which intersects BF at O and BC at G.
5. With O as centre and OB as radius draw a circle.
6. From C mark an arc of 4 cm on CB at D.
7. The perpendicular bisector intersects the circle at I. Joint ID.
8. ID produced meets the circle at A. Now Join AB and AC.
This ∆ABC is the required triangle.
