2. SUBTOPIC : Given the lengths of any two sides and the measure of the angle
between these sides.(SAS)
Example: Construct a triangle PQR, given that PQ = 3 cm, QR = 5.5 cm
and PQR = 60°.
SOLUTION:
Step 1: First, we draw a rough sketch with given measures.

Step 2: Draw a line segment QR of length 5.5 cm.

Step 3: At Q, draw QX making 60° with QR.

(The point P must be somewhere on this ray of the angle)

Step 4 (To fix P, the distance QP has been given).
With Q as centre, draw an arc of radius 3 cm. It cuts QX at the point P.
