This time, we solve a problem with two given sides and one angle.

 

Construct a triangle with two sides of length 3 and 5 and an included angle of 45°. The direction of one of the sides (AB) is given.

Try it yourself first. Here is the solution.

  • First construct two fixed circles around A with radii 5 and 3.
  • Now you can construct the point B using the point tool as an intersection.
  • Create a fixed angle of 45° at A on AB.
  • Finally, create the point C.
