Arrange the given steps in correct order, while constructing PQR where PMQS and it is given that QR=4.2 cm, Q=120° and PQ=3.5 cm.

Step 1: Now extend RQ to S and with P as centre and with a sufficient radius, draw an arc, cutting SQ at A and B.

Step 2: Along QX, set off QP=3.5 cm.

Step 3: Draw a line segment QR=4.2 cm and construct RQX=120°.

Step 4: Joint PR.

Step 5: Joint PC, meeting RQ produced at M. Then, PMQS.

Step 6: With A as centre and radius more than half AB, draw an arc. Now with B as centre and with the same radius draw another arc, cutting the previous arc at C.

To construct a right triangle, its hypotenuse and one _____ should be given.

EASY

Which of the following steps is incorrect while constructing LMN, right angled at M, given that LN=5 cm and MN=3 cm?

Step 1. Draw MN of length 3 cm.

Step 2. At M, draw MXMN. (L should be somewhere on this perpendicular).

Step 3. With N as centre,draw an arc of radius 5cm. ( L must be on this arc, since it is at a distance of 5 cm from N).

Step 4. L has to be on the perpendicular line MX as well as on the arc drawn with centre N. Therefore, L is the meeting point of these two and LMN is obtained.
