Construct a right triangle whose base is 12 cm

[question] Question. Construct a right triangle whose base is 12 cm and sum of its hypotenuse and other side is 18 cm. [/question] [solution] Solution: The below given steps will be followed to construct the required triangle. Step I: Draw line segment AB of 12 cm. Draw a ray AX making 90° with AB. Step II: Cut a line segment AD of 18 cm (as the sum of the other two sides is 18) from ray AX. Step III: Join DB and make an angle DBY equal to ADB. Step IV: Let BY intersect AX at C. Join AC, BC. ΔAB...
