  1. 1. Draw a ΔABC with base side BC = 6 cm, and AB = 5 cm and ∠ABC = 60°.

    2. Draw a ray BX which makes an acute angle with BC on the opposite side of vertex A.

    3. Locate 4 points (as 4 is greater in 3 and 4), such as B1, B2, B3, B4, on line segment BX.

    4. Join the points B4C and also draw a line through B3, parallel to B4C intersecting the line segment BC at C’.

    5. Draw a line through C’ parallel to the line AC which intersects the line AB at A’.

    6. Therefore, ΔA’BC’ is the required triangle.

    Justification:

    The construction of the given problem can be justified by proving that

    Since the scale factor is 3/4 , we need to prove

    A’B = (3/4)AB

    BC’ = (3/4)BC

    A’C’= (3/4)AC

    From the construction, we get A’C’ || AC

    In ΔA’BC’ and ΔABC,

    ∴ ∠ A’C’B = ∠ACB (Corresponding angles)

    ∠B = ∠B (common)

    ∴ ΔA’BC’ ∼ ΔABC (From AA similarity criterion)

    Since the corresponding sides of the similar triangle are in the same ratio, it becomes

    Therefore, A’B/AB = BC’/BC= A’C’/AC

    So, it becomes A’B/AB = BC’/BC= A’C’/AC = 3/4

    Hence, justified.
