Exercise 6 Page 402

We want to draw a triangle with side lengths of 5 inches and 6 inches that meet at a 50^(∘) angle. We can begin by drawing an angle of 50^(∘) using a protractor. Let's call the vertex of this angle A.

Next, we can use a ruler to mark 5 inches on one ray and 6 inches on the other ray. Let's start by marking 5 inches on one of the rays! We can do so using a ruler.

Now we can mark 6 inches on the other ray.

Finally, we can draw the missing side using a ruler.

Finally, we can draw our triangle.
