Solución
- Establish the correspondence between the triangles. Assume that
Then side
corresponds to side
and side
corresponds to side
.
- Given that
and that in triangle
we have
determine the similarity (scale) factor from triangle
to triangle
.
- Since
, the scale factor is
- 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},.
]
KM = \sqrt{1625 - 400\cos 46^\circ},.
]
c. The side corresponding to
in triangle
is
- Then,
- Finally,
- Summary of the sides in triangle
:

and the corresponding angle
.
- 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!
