Question -

Construct a triangle similar to ΔABC in which AB = 4.6 cm, BC = 5.1 cm,∠A = 60° with scale factor 4 : 5.



Answer -

Steps of construction :
(i) Draw a line segment AB = 4.6 cm.
(ii) At A, draw a ray AX making an angle of 60°.
(iii) With centre B and radius 5.1 cm draw an arc intersecting AX at C.
(iv) Join BC. Then ABC is the triangle.
(v) From A, draw a ray AX making an acute angle with AB and cut off 5 equal parts making AA1 = A1A2 = A2A3 = A3A4=A4A5.
(vi) Join A4 and B.
(vii) From A5, drawA5B’ parallel to A4B and B’C’ parallel to BC.
Then ΔC’AB’ is the required triangle.
