Construct a $\vartriangle ABC$ in which $AB\ =\ 6\ cm$, $\angle A\ =\ 30^{o}$ and $\angle B\ =\ 60^{o}$, Construct another $\vartriangle AB’C’$ similar to $\vartriangle ABC$ with base $ AB’\ =\ 8\ cm$.


Given: A $\vartriangle ABC$ in which $AB\ =\ 6\ cm$, $\angle A\ =\ 30^{o}$ and $\angle B\ =\ 60^{o}$.

To do: To construct $\vartriangle ABC$ and also to construct another $\vartriangle AB’C’$ similar to $\vartriangle ABC$ with base $ AB’\ =\ 8\ cm$.

Solution:

Steps of construction:

$( i)$. Draw a line $AB$ of length $6\ cm$.

$( ii)$. Make an angle of $30^o$ at $A$ and extend the line from $A$ making this angle.

$( iii)$. Make an angle of $60^o$ at $B$ and extend the line from $B$ making this angle till it meets the line from step $2$ at point $C$.

Hence, we got the $\vartriangle ABC$

Steps of construction of $\vartriangle AB'C'$:

$( iv)$. Extend the line $AB$ to $B′$, such that $AB′=8\ cm$.

$( v)$. Make an angle of $60^o$ at $B′$ and extend the line from $B′$ making this angle till it meets the line from step $2$ at point $C'$.


Hence, we got the $\vartriangle AB'C′$.
