Question

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 ______.

Options

• B₁₀ to C

• B₃ to C

• B₇ to C

• B₄ to C

Answer 1

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.
