Draw a with side BC = 6 cm, AB = 5 cm and . Then, construct a triangle whose sides are of the corresponding sides of the .


Steps of Construction:


Step I: BC = 6 cm is drawn.


Step II: At point B, AB = 5 cm is drawn making an


ABC = 60° with BC.


Step III: AC is joined to form ΔABC.


Step IV: A ray BX is drawn making an acute angle with BC opposite to vertex A.


Step V: 4 points B1 B2 B3 and B4 at equal distance is marked on BX.


Step VII: B3 is joined with C' to form B3C'.


Step VIII: C'A' is drawn parallel CA.


Thus, A'BC' is the required triangle.


Justification:


A = 60° (Common)


C = C'


ΔAB'C' ~ ΔABC by AA similarity condition.


AB/AB' = BC/B'C' = AC/AC'


Also,


AB/AB' = AA3/AA4 = 4/3


AB' = 3/4 AB, B'C' = 3/4 BC and AC' = 3/4 AC
