Question

Select the correct sequence for constructing a triangle given the three sides:

Options

• Draw any line, draw three arcs, connect points

• Draw the shortest side, draw arcs, label points

• Draw the longest side, draw arcs from its endpoints, label intersection as the third vertex

• Draw any angle, mark three points, join them

Answer 1

Draw the longest side, draw arcs from its endpoints, label intersection as the third vertex

Explanation:

The correct sequence is to draw the longest side, then use arcs based on the other two sides to identify the third vertex.
