Construct a right-angled triangle whose hypotenuse measures 5 cm and one of the other sides measures 3.2 cm.

Solution:

Steps of construction

1. Construct a line AB of length 3.2 cm

2. At point B, construct a right angle, ie ∠ABY = 90°

3. From point A, cut an arc 5 cm on BY at the point C.

4. Now join C to A

Therefore, triangle ABC is the required triangle with hypotenuse AC = 5 cm and AB = 3.2 cm.
