Thought-Process to Discover Knowledge

Welcome to nubtrek.

Books and other education websites provide "matter-of-fact" knowledge. Instead, nubtrek provides a thought-process to discover knowledge.

In each of the topic, the outline of the thought-process, for that topic, is provided for learners and educators.

To construct a triangle, "side-side-side" is provided. Which of the following is required to construct the specified triangle?

• a scale and a compass to mark the given sides
• a scale and a compass to mark the given sides
• a protractor and compass to mark angles and sides
• a set-square to mark parallel lines

The answer is "A scale and a compass to mark the given sides"

To construct a triangle /_\ ABC with given "side-side-side" 7cm, 4cm, and 5cm  •  Construct a line and mark side bar(AB) with a compass measuring 7cm

•  measure bar(AC) 4cm in a compass and draw an arc

•  measure bar(BC) 5cm in a compass and draw an arc

•  the two arcs cut at point C. Connect the points for sides bar(AC) and bar(BC)

/_\ ABC` is constructed.

Construction of SSS triangle : use compass to measure lengths and mark points at the given three distances.
