Construct an isosceles triangle whose base is 8 cm and altitude 4 cm and then another triangle whose sides are `1 1/2` times the corresponding sides of the isosceles triangle.

Explanation

i) Draw the line segment of the base 8 cm. Draw perpendicular bisector of the line. Mark a point on the bisector which measures 4 cm from the base. Connect this point from both ends.


ii)
Then draw another line that makes an acute angle with the given line. Divide the line into m + n parts where m and n are the ratios given.


iii)
Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are equal. They are said to satisfy Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) Axiom.
