Visualising the Construction of CirclesWe need to check if a Triangle with sides 8 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm exists To do this, we construct circles Now, If the circles intersect, it is a triangle If the circles do not intersect, it is not a triangle Let’s make a rough diagram Steps of construction 1. Draw a line segment AB of length 8 cm 2. Since AC = 4 cm. Taking 4 cm as radius, and A as center, we draw a full circle lightly 3. Since BC = 5 cm. Taking 5 cm as radius, and B as center, we draw a full circle lightly Now, where these two circles intersect is our point C Note: Since the two circles, we have our triangle. If they don’t intersect – then triangle is not possible 5. Join AC and BC and label the sides Thus, Δ ABC is the required triangle
