Question:
Construct a triangle XYZ in which ∠Y = 30°, ∠Z = 90° and XY + ZX + YZ = 11 cm.
Solution:
Steps of Construction:
- Draw a line segment AB = 11 cm (= PQ + QR + RP).
- At A, construct an angle of 30° and at B, an angle of 90°.
- Bisect these angles. Let the bisectors of these angles intersect at a point X.
- Draw perpendicular bisectors ST of AX and UV of BX. Let ST intersect AB at Y
- Join XY and XZ. Then, XYZ is the required triangle.
