Step 5 A has to be on both the arcs drawn. So, it is the point of intersection of arcs.


           Mark the point of intersection of arcs as A. Join AB and AC.



























           So, DABC is the required triangle.

                  1.  To construct: ΔXYZ, where XY = 4.5 cm, YZ = 5 cm and ZX = 6 cm.













                  Steps of construction:
                  (a) Draw a line segment YZ = 5 cm.


                    (b) Taking Z as centre and radius 6 cm, draw an arc.

                  (c) Similarly, taking Y as centre and radius 4.5 cm, draw another arc which
                  intersects first arc at point X.

                  (d) Join XY and XZ.

                  (e) It is the required ΔXYZ.
