Construct XYZ in which XY = 4.5 cm, YZ = 5 cm and ZX = 6 cm.

We have to draw figure using following steps of construction:

Step 1: Draw a line segment ZY of 5 cm.



Step 2: Taking Z as a center and radius 6 cm mark an arc.



Step 3: Now, taking Y as a center and radius 4.5 cm mark another arc intersecting the previous arc at X.



Step 4: Join Z to X and Y to X


Hence ΔXYZ is the required triangle.
