Construction of Special Angles (Revision)

A compass, a pencil, a protractor and a ruler are the needed mathematical instruments for this construction. Angles 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° and their multiples should be thoroughly revised as a prerequisite for the next stage.

 

Construction of Triangles

Two Sides and an Included Angle

An included angle is an angle holding two sides of the triangle.

Example 1:

A protractor, a pencil and a ruler are the needed mathematical instruments for this construction.

Construct a triangle ABC, such that AB = 4cm, BC = 6cm, ∠B = 62°. Measure AC.

Solution Steps:

1. Make a rough sketch of the triangle.
