Exercise 10.2

To construct a triangle similar to a given △ABC with its sides 7/3 of the corresponding sides of △ABC, draw a ray BX making acute angle with BC and X lies on the opposite side of A with respect to BC. The points B1, B2, …., B7 are located at equal distances on BX, B3 is joined to C and then a line segment B6C‘ is drawn parallel to B3C where C‘ lies on BC produced. Finally, line segment A‘C‘ is drawn parallel to AC.

False Support: Allow us to attempt to build the figure as given in the inquiry. Steps of development, Define a boundary section \[BC.\] With \[B\text{ }and\text{ }C\]as focuses, draw two circular...
