Drw a DeltaABC in which BC = 6 cm, CA = 5 cm and AB = 4 cm. Construct and triangle similar to it and of scale factor 3/5. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Here, SCALE factor is `5/3gt1,` so the resulting figure will be larger. Steps of Construction : 1. Draw BC = 6 cm. 2. Draw arc `BA_(1)=4` cm from B. 3. Draw arc `CA_(2)=5` cm from C. 4. Arc `CA_(2)and BA_(1)` intersect at A. 5. Join AB and AC. 6. Drew acute angle CBX below BC. 7. Cut BX into equal parts by arcs at `B_(1),B_(2),B_(3),B_(4)and B_(5).` 8. Join `B_(3)C.` 9. Draw `B_(5)C'"||"B_(3)C` by making ALTERNATE angles. C' is on BC produced. 10. Drew `C'A"||"CA` which meet BA produced at A'. Now, `DeltaA'BC` is the required triangle. Justification : `""DeltaBCB_(3)~DeltaBC'B_(5)""("by AA critertion of similarly")` `therefore""(BB_(3))/(BB_(5))-(BC)/(BC')""(BB_(1)=B_(1)B_(2)=...xthereforeBB_(3)=3xandBB_(5)=5X)` `implies""(3x)/(5x)=(BC)/(BC')` `""DeltaABC~DeltaA'BC'""("by AA criterion of similiarity")` `implies""(A'B)/(AB)=(A'C)/(AC)=(BC)/(BC')`

Answer» Solution :Setps of Construction : 1. Draw line segment BC = 8 CM. 2. Construct OQ the perpendicular bisector of line segment BC meeting BC at P. 3. Along PO cut off PA = 4 cm. 4. Join BA and CA. So, `DeltaABC` is the required isosceles triangle. 5. From B, draw any ray BX making an acute `ANGLECBX`. 6. Locate three points `B_(1),B_(2)and B_(3)` on BX such that `BB_(1)=B_(1)B_(2)=B_(2)B_(3).` 7. Join `B_(2)C` and from `B_(3)` draw a line `B_(3)N"||"B_(2)C` intersecting the extended line segment BC at N. 8. From point N, draw `NM"||"CA` meeting MA produced at M. Then, `DeltaMBN` is the required triangle. Justification : `because""B_(3)N"||"B_(2)C""("by construction")` `therefore""(BN)/(BC)=2/1` `Now,""(BN)/(BC)=(BC+CN)/(BC)=1+(CN)/(BC)=1+1/2=1(1)/(2)`
