Explanation of Solution
Given:
The leg.
Calculation:
The isosceles
Step 1- Draw the
Step 2- Choose any two points on the circumference.
Step 3- Join those two points to have a chord.
Step 4- Join the endpoints to the center of the circle toget the required isosceles triangle ABC.
To construct the isosceles tringle with given length.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The hypotenuse.
Calculation:
The isosceles triangle with givenhypotenusecan be constructed as follows-
The right triangle given the hypotenuse and the altitude of the hypotenuse can be constructed as follows-
Step 1- Draw the hypotenuse of the given triangle.
Step 2- Use the length of the hypotenuse to draw a circle using it as the diameter.
Step 3- Draw a perpendicular to the hypotenuse.
Step 4- The point where the perpendicular meets the circle is a vertex. Join the vertex to the end points of the hypotenuse.
