ruct an equilateral triangle which has one angular point atb on the line ob, and the remaining angular points on oa and ocrespectively. (H. 1886) 7. Draw a triangle ABC with the following dimensions. AB = ^, BC=2^, AC= 2. Inscribe in the triangle a rhombus, oneside lying in AC, and the adjoining… … 48 PRACTICAL PLANE GEOMETRY chap. Hint.—P is a mean proportional between (x - Q) and x.Therefore in Fig. 27, page 33, make OB = P, OC=Q. DrawCA perpendicular to CB. Then AB = x.9. In Ex. 8 find x if P2 = (Q-x)x. *10. Reduce the given hatched figure to a triangle. (1883) Hint.—Reduce the whole…
