Construct a Delta ABC in which BC=6 cm, angleB=60^(@) and (AC-AB)=2 cm. Measure AC and AB. Justify your construction.

Answer»

SOLUTION :STEPS OF CONSTRUCTION
(i) Draw `BC=6` cm.
(ii) Construct `angle CBX=60^(@)`
(iii) Produce `XB` downwards to a POINT `X'`.
(iv) Set off `BD=2` cm along `BX'`.
(v) JOIN `CD`.
(vi) Draw the perpendicular bisector of `CD`, meeting `BX` at `A`.
(vii) Join `AC`.
Then, `Delta ABC` is the required triangle.
VERIFICATION :
On measuring, we FIND that `AC=5.4` cm and `AB=3.4` cm.
`:. (AC-AB)=(5.4-3.4)cm =2` cm.
Justification :
Since `A` lies on the perpendicular bisector of `CD`, we have `AD=AC`. Now, `BD=2` cm `implies AD-AB=2` cm
`implies AC-AB=2 cm ""[ :' AD=AC]`.
Hence, `Delta ABC` is the required triangle.

A right triangle when one side is 3.5cm and sum of other sides and the hypotenuse is 5.5cm.

Answer»

Solution :Let given right triangle be `ABC` .
Then , given `BC` = `3.5cm angleB = 90^(@)` and SUM of other side and hypotenuse i.e., `AB + AC = 5.5cm`
To construct `DeltaABC` use the following STEPS
(i) Draw the base `BC = 3.5cm`
(ii) Make an angle `XBC` = `90^(@)` at the point `B` of base `BC`.
(III) Cut the line segment BD EQUAL to `AB+ AC` i.e., `5.5cm` from the ray XB.
(iv) Join DC and make an `angleDCY` equal to `angleBDC` .
Let Y intersect BX at A.
Thus , `DeltaABC` is the required triangle.
Justification
Base BC and `angleB` are drawn as given.
In `DeltaACD, angle ACD = ANGLEADC` [by construction]
`:.` AD = AC...(i) [sides opposite to equal angle are equal]
Now `AB = BD - AD = BD- AC`[from Eq. (i)]
`rArr BD = AB + AC`
Thus , our construction is justified.
