Construct a triangle ABC in which BC = 5 cm, B = 60° and AC + AB = 7.5 cm.

Step 1:


Draw YBX = 60° and BC=5cm



Step 2:


With B as center and 7.5cm as radius draw an arc that intersects BY at Z.



Step 3:


Join CZ and then with C as center draw two arc at either side of the line CZ and repeat the same with Z as center.


Name the intersecting points as P and Q.



Step 4:


Name the intersecting point of PR and BZ as A and join AC.



So ABC is the required Triangle and here we can observe that AZ=AC (as AZC is isosceles).
