Steps of Construction:

i)Draw a line segment BC = 4 cm.

ii) At C, draw a perpendicular line CX and from it, cut off CE = 2.5 cm.

iii) From E, draw another perpendicular line EY.

iv) From C, draw a ray making an angle of 45o with CB, which intersects EY at A.

v) Join AB. Thus, triangle ABC is the required triangle.

vi) Draw perpendicular bisectors of sides AB and BC intersecting each other at O.

vii) With centre O, and radius OB, draw a circle which will pass through A, B and C.

Measuring the radius OB = OC = OA = 2 cm
