Steps of construction:

  1. Draw a line segment BC of length 5.8 cm

  2. Draw a ray BX such that ∠CBX = 52.5° [Since vertical angle is 75° then the two equal angles should be 52.5° each]

  3. Now draw another ray CY such that ∠BCY = 52.5°

  4. Mark the point of intersection of two rays as A. ABC is the required isosceles triangle.
