Question

Draw triangle with the measures given below.

In ∆ PQR, l(PQ) = 6 cm, l(QR) = 3.8 cm, l(PR) = 4.5 cm 

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

1. Draw a line PQ = 6 cm.
2. With P as centre and 4.5 cm as the radius, draw an arc above the line PQ.
3. With Q as the center and 3.8 cm as the radius, draw an arc cutting the previous drawn arc at point R.
4. Join RP and RQ.

ΔPQR is thus the required triangle.
