Construct an isosceles triangle whose base is 8cm and altitude 4cm and then another triangle whose sides are `3//2` times the corresponding sides of the isosceles triangle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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.
