Solution:
Steps of construction:
(i) Draw QR = 8 cm.
(ii) Draw m∠Q = 90°.
(iii) Draw an arc with centre R and radius 10 cm to cut the perpendicular line at P.
(iv) ∆PQR is the required triangle.
[Using RHS criterion]

Solution:
Steps of construction:
(i) Draw AB = 4 cm.
(ii) Draw ∠A = 90°.
(iii) Cut BC = 6 cm.
(iv) ∆CAB is the required right-angled triangle.
[Using RHS criterion]
Question 3.

Solution:
Steps of construction:
(i) Draw AC = 6 cm.
(ii) Draw ∠A =∠C = 45° to meet each other at B such that m∠B = 90°.
(iii) ∆ABC is right-angled isosceles triangle which is the required triangle.
[Using RHS criterion]
