Draw a right triangle in which the sides (other than hypotenuse) are of lengths and . Then construct another triangle whose sides are times the corresponding sides of the given triangle.

Steps of construction:

1. Mark a line segment with the help of ruler.

2. At B, draw perpendicular BX and cut off .

3. Then, join AC. Then, ABC is the triangle

4. Draw a ray BY making an acute angle with BC and cut off equal parts making

5. Now, join  and C.

6. From , draw parallel to and C’A’ parallel to CA.

Then, is the required triangle.
