Construct a triangle whose perImeter is 6.4 cm, and angles at the base are 60° and 45°.
We are asked to draw triangle ABC whose base angles are 60° and 45° and its perimeter is 6.4 cm
We will follow the following algorithm for the construction
Steps of construction
STEP1: Draw DE of 6.4 cm.
STEP2: Draw EDP =∠ B = 60° and ∠ DER = ∠ C = 45°.
STEP3: Draw the angle bisectors of ∠ EDP and ∠ DER and mark their point of intersection as A.
STEP4: Draw the perpendicular bisectors of AD and AE. They meet DE at point B and Point C respectively.
STEP5: Draw AB and AC to get the required triangle ABC.
