To construct a triangle similar to a given ΔABC with its sides 3/7 of the corresponding sides of ΔABC, first draw a ray BX such that ∠CBX is an acute angle and X lies on the opposite side of A with respect to BC. Then locate points B1, B2, B3, on BX at equal distances and next step is to join ______.

• B10 to C

• B3 to C

• B7 to C

• B4 to C

#### Solution

To construct a triangle similar to a given ΔABC with its sides 3/7 of the corresponding sides of ΔABC, first draw a ray BX such that ∠CBX is an acute angle and X lies on the opposite side of A with respect to BC. Then locate points B1, B2, B3, on BX at equal distances and next step is to join B7 to C

Explanation:

Here, we locate points B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 and B7 on BX at equal distance and in next step join the last points is B7 to C.
