Construction of a Triangle with 1 given side and 2 given angles

Construction of a Triangle with 1 given side and 2 given angles

Secondary 1

Draw \(\Delta ABC\) such that \(AB=10\) cm, \(\angle ABC=55{}^\circ \) and \(\angle CAB=80{}^\circ \).

  1. Measure and write down the length of \(AC\).
  2. Construct and label the perpendicular bisector of \(AC\) as \({{l}_{1}}\).
  3. Construct and label the angle bisector of \(\angle CAB\) as \({{l}_{2}}\).
  4. Measure and write down the length of \(AP\), such that \(P\) is the point where the perpendicular bisector of \(AC\) cuts \(BC\).
