Given:
Construction Steps:
Draw the base .
Draw a straight line and mark a point Q on it. Using a ruler, measure from Q and mark point R. So, .
Construct at point R.
- With R as the center, draw an arc of any convenient radius to intersect at a point, say A.
- With A as the center and the same radius, draw another arc to intersect the first arc at a point, say B. .
- Bisect . With A and B as centers, draw arcs of the same radius (larger than half the distance AB) to intersect at a point, say C.
- Draw a line from R through C. This line forms an angle of with .
Construct at point Q.
- With Q as the center, draw an arc of any convenient radius to intersect at a point, say D.
- With D as the center and the same radius, draw an arc to intersect the first arc at E ().
- With E as the center and the same radius, draw an arc to intersect the first arc at F ().
- Bisect the angle between E and F to construct . With E and F as centers, draw arcs of the same radius to intersect at G.
- Draw a dashed line from Q through G. This line represents . Let the intersection of this line with the initial arc be H.
- Now, bisect the angle between E () and H (). With E and H as centers, draw arcs of the same radius to intersect at I.
- Draw a line from Q through I. This line forms an angle of with .
Locate point P.
The intersection of the line from R (from Step 2) and the line from Q (from Step 3) is point P. Connect P to Q and P to R to complete triangle PQR.
Measurement of and :
Since physical measurement cannot be performed by an AI, we will calculate the lengths using trigonometry.
First, find the third angle :
The sum of angles in a triangle is .Since , triangle PQR is an isosceles triangle with sides opposite these angles being equal.
Therefore, .
Given ,Now, use the Sine Rule to find the length of :
We know and .
Rounding to two decimal places:
The measured lengths are:
