Construct a ΔABC in which BC = 5 cm, AB = 3.8 cm and AC = 2.6 cm.

Steps of Construction


1. Draw a line segment BC= 5 cm.



2. With centre B and radius equal to 3.8 cm draw an arc.


3. With centre C and radius equal to 2.6 cm draw another arc which cuts the previously drawn arc at A.


4. Join AB and AC
