Answer 1

AP = FE = EA : 6.5 cm. 

Step – 1: 

Draw a rough sketch of the triangle and label it with the given measurements. 

Step – 2: 

Draw a line segment PE of length 6.5 cm. 

Step – 3: 

With P as centre, draw an arc of radius 6.5 cm. 

Step – 4: 

WIth E as centre, draw another arc of radius 6.5 cm such that it intersects first arc at A. 

Step – 5:
