Construct a ΔABC in which AB = 6.5 cm, ∠B = 60° and BC = 5.5 cm. Also, construct a triangle ABC similar to ΔABC, whose each side times the corresponding side of the ΔABC.
Draw a circle of radius 4 cm. Draw two tangents to the circle inclined at an angle of 60o to each other.
Construct a ΔABC in which AB = 6 cm, ∠A = 30o and ∠B = 60o. Construct another ΔAB'C' similar to ΔABC with base AB' = 8 cm
Scale factor
The required triangle can be drawn using the following steps:
1. Draw a ΔABC with side AB = 6 cm, ∠A = 30o and ∠B = 60o.
2. Draw a ray AZ making an acute angle with AB on the opposite side of vertex C.
3. Locate 4 points ( as 4 is greater in 4 and 3) A1, A2, A3, and A4 on AZ.
4. Join A3B. Draw a line through A4 parallel to A3B intersecting extended AB at B'.
5. Through B', drawn a line parallel to BC intersecting ray AX at C'.
Hence, ΔAB'C' is the required triangle.
