Given : one side BC = 6.4cm, Altitude AD = 3.2am and the median AL = 4cm.

Required : To construct a ΔABC form the given data.

STEP :

(i) Draw BC = 6.4cm

(ii) Bisect BC at L.

(iii) Draw EF || BC at a distance 3.2cm for BC.

(iv) With L as centre and radius equal to 4cm, draw an arc, cutting EF at A.

(v) Join A and B ; A and C. We get the required triangle ABC.
