Question
Without using set squares or protractor.
(i) Construct a ΔABC, given BC = 4 cm, angle B = 75° and CA = 6 cm.
(ii) Find the point P such that PB = PC and P is equidistant from the side BC and BA. Measure AP.

Solution
(i) Draw BC = 4 cm. Draw BA at B such that ∠ABC = 75°. Cut CA = 6 cm. Then ΔABC is the required Δ.
(ii) Draw single bisector of ∠B. Draw ⊥ bisector of BC. Their point of intersection (P) is the requisite point.
AP = 3·9 cm.
