Philoid · Accepted Answer

steps of construction

1. At first drawn a base line BC of length 5.5 cm with the help of scale

2. Taking B as center draw a arc of radius 5 cm with the help of compass

3. Similarly taking C as center draw a arc of radius 6.5 cm with the help of compass

4. The intersection of both arcs give point A

5. Join AB and AC thus completing the triangle ABC

Similarly by taking this length follow the above steps to make new triangle
