Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Draw a line segment `AB` of length `5.5cm`. taking `5.5cm` radius and `A` as center draw an arc.

Taking `5.5cm` as radius and `B` as center draw another arc.
`
Let `C` be the point where the two arcs intersect. Join `AC` and `BC` and label the sides.

Thus, `/_\ABC` is the required equilateral triangle.
