CONSTRUCT A TRIANGLE WHOSE VERTEX ANGLE IN 60 AND THE OPPOSITE SIDE IS 6 CM. THE ALTITUDE FROM THE VERTEX IS 2.5 CM LONG
To construct the triangle, follow these steps:
1. Draw a straight line segment for the base of the triangle.
2. At one end of the base, place a protractor such that its straight edge coincides with the base line.
3. Measure an angle of 60 degrees using the protractor. This angle will be the vertex angle of the triangle.
4. From the vertex point, draw a line segment perpendicular to the base. This line segment will be the altitude of the triangle.
5. Measure 2.5 cm along the altitude line from the vertex point. Mark this point as the endpoint of the altitude.
6. Connect the endpoint of the altitude with the endpoints of the base to close the triangle.
The resulting triangle will have a vertex angle of 60 degrees, the opposite side of 6 cm, and an altitude of 2.5 cm.
