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.
