Answer
For Example 21, to construct an isosceles triangle XYZ such that , follow these steps. Since the length of the base XZ is not specified, you can choose any length for it.
Step-by-step solution
6 stepsDraw a line segment XZ of any desired length.
This will form the base of your triangle.
Open your compass to a radius of .
Place the compass needle at point X and draw an arc above the line segment XZ.
Without changing the compass opening, place the compass needle at point Z and draw another arc that intersects the first arc.
Label the point where the two arcs intersect as Y.
Draw straight lines to connect point X to point Y, and point Y to point Z.
The resulting triangle XYZ will be an isosceles triangle with .
