Draw a right triangle in which the sides (other than the hypotenuse) arc of lengths 4 cm and 3 cm. Now, construct another triangle whose sides are 5/3 times the corresponding sides of the given triangle. [CBSE 2017]



Answer -

Steps of construction:
1. Draw a right triangle ABC in which the sides (other than hypotenuse) are of lengths 4 cm and 3 cm. ∠B = 90°.
2. Draw a line BX, which makes an acute angle ∠CBX below the line BC.
3. Locate 5 points B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 on BX such that BB1 = B1B2=B2B3=B3B4=B4B5.
4. Join B3 to C and draw a line through B5 parallel to B3C, intersecting the extended line segment BC at C’.
5. Draw a line through C’ parallel to CA intersecting the extended line segment BA at A’.
