Draw ΔPQR with PQ = 4 cm, QR = 3.5 cm and PR = 4 cm. What type of triangle is this?

Here,

According to the question,


We have to draw figure using following steps of construction:


Step 1: Draw a line segment QR of 3.5 cm.



Step 2: Taking Q as a center and radius 4 cm mark an arc.



Step 3: Now, taking R as a center and radius 4 cm mark another arc intersecting the previous arc at P.



Step 4: Join Q to P and R to P


Hence ΔPQR is the required triangle.


Since the two sides (PQ and PR) have same length i.e. 4cm.


Thus, ΔPQR is an isosceles triangle.
