To construct triangle similar to triangle :
  1. Determine the Scale Factor:
    • Given and , the scale factor .
  2. Find Corresponding Sides:
    • .
    • , where is calculated using the Law of Cosines: Thus, .
  3. Construct Triangle :
    • Draw base .
    • At point , construct a angle.
    • From point , measure along the angle.
    • From point , draw an arc with radius to locate point .
  4. Final Triangle:
    • Connect points , , and to form triangle with sides , , and , and angle .

Solución

  1. Establish the correspondence between the triangles. Assume that
Then side corresponds to side and side corresponds to side .
  1. Given that
and that in triangle we have
determine the similarity (scale) factor from triangle to triangle .
  1. Since , the scale factor is
  1. Determine the other corresponding sides in triangle :
a. The side corresponding to is
b. The third side of triangle (side ) can be found using the Law of Cosines. In triangle :
Substitute the values:
Thus,
[
  KM = \sqrt{1625 - 400\cos 46^\circ},.
  ]
c. The side corresponding to in triangle is
- Then,
- Finally,
  1. Summary of the sides in triangle :
-
  -
  -
and the corresponding angle .
  1. Construction Steps for Triangle :
a. Draw the base .
b. At point , construct an angle of .
c. On the ray forming the angle from , mark point such that .
d. With a compass, using point as center, mark an arc with radius .
e. The intersection of this arc with the ray from (or with an arc centered at if drawn from with radius ) locates point precisely completing the triangle.
Thus, triangle constructed with , the angles and proportional sides corresponding to triangle is obtained.

Bonus Knowledge

To construct triangle similar to triangle , you need to establish a scale factor based on the lengths of corresponding sides. Since corresponds with , the scale factor between triangles is . Consequently, the length in triangle should be .
To actually construct , start by drawing a line segment . Then, using a protractor, construct an angle of at point . From this point, mark a length of along the angle to locate point . Finally, connect points and to complete triangle . Enjoy your triangle construction!
