Construct an equi

We follow several steps in construction to ensure a proper figure.

These are:

1. Draw a line segment sufficiently long using a ruler, name it XY (say).

2. Locate points A and B such that AB = 4.8 cm on XY.

3. With A as centre and radius 4.8 cm, draw a circle or semicircle or arc (as drawn in the figure) using a compass.

4. With B as centre and radius 4.8 cm, draw another circle or semicircle or arc.

5. These two circles or semicircles or arcs cut at a point, name it as C.

6. Join AC and BC.

Thus, ABC is the required triangle.
