Answer

(i) Steps of construction :

  1. Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm.

  2. Cut an arc of 5.2 cm from A.

  3. Draw a line segment from B such that angle between the line and AB = 60°.

  4. Mark the point as C where the arc from A and line segment from B meets.

  5. Join points A, B and C. Hence, the △ABC is formed.

(ii) Steps of construction :

  1. In the above triangle, draw the perpendicular bisector of AB and BC. Let these bisectors meet at the point O.

  2. With O as center and radius equal to OA, draw a circle. The circle so drawn passes through the points A, B and C, and is required circumcircle of △ABC.
