CONSTRUCTION OF A RIGHT TRIANGLE
IF THE ONE ANGLE OF A TRIANGLE IS 90,IT IS CALLED RIGHT TRIANGLE
Construction of a right triangle when its hypotenuse and one side are given [RHS Triangle Construction]
Given: The hypotenuse DF of a right triangle DEF is 4.2cm E=90 and EF=3.8cm
To Construct: A right triangle, given the lengths of its hypotenuse and one of the sides
Draw a line segment EF of length 3.8cm
.
With center F and radius 4.2cm, draw an arc of the circle, to intersect ray EX at D
Join DF Thus, DEF is the required triangle
