As shown in the figure, points T and S are taken on line QR such that,
QT = PQ, and PR = RS …(i)
TS = TQ+QR+RS
TS = PQ+QR+PR ….(ii) [from (i)]
Given PQ + QR + PR = 9.5 cm. …(iii)
TS = 9.5cm [from (ii) and (iii)]
Now in PTQ, TQ = QP [from (i)]
QPT = QTP = x˚ …(iv) [Isoceles triangle theorem]
In PQT, PQR is the exterior angle.
QPT+QTP = PQR [Remote interior angle theorem]
x+x = 70˚ [From (iv)]
2x = 70˚
x = 70/2 = 35˚
PTQ = 35 ˚
T = 35˚
Similarly, S = 40˚.
Now in PTS

Point Q lies on perpendicular bisector of seg PT.
Also, RP = RS
Point R lies on perpendicular bisector of seg PS.
Points Q and R can be located by drawing the perpendicular bisector of PT and PS respectively.

WV = 10.5 cm [From (ii) and (iii)]
In ZWY
YZ = YW [From (i)]
YZW = YWZ = x° …..(iv) [Isosceles triangle theorem]
In ZYW, ZYX is the exterior angle.
YZW +YWZ = ZYX [Remote interior angles theorem]
x+x = 58° [From (iv)]
2x = 58°
x = 58/2 = 29°
ZWY = 29°
YZW = 29°
Similarly, V = 23°
Now, in ZWV
W = 29°, V = 23° and
WV= 10.5 cm
Hence, we can draw ZWV .
Since, ZY = YW
Point Y lies on perpendicular bisector of seg ZW.
Also, ZX = XV
Point X lies on perpendicular bisector of seg ZV.
Points Y and X can be located by drawing the perpendicular bisector of ZW and ZV respectively.

x+x = 70° [From (iv)]
2x = 70°
x = 70/2 = 35°
ADB = 35°
D = 35°
Similarly, E = 30°
Now, in ADE

Since, AB = BD
Point B lies on perpendicular bisector of seg AD.
Also AC = CE
Point C lies on perpendicular bisector of seg AE.
Points B and C can be located by drawing the perpendicular bisector of AD and AE respectively.

k = 14.4/9
k = 1.6
AB = 2k = 2×1.6 = 3.2 cm
AC = 3k = 3×1.6 = 4.8 cm
BC = 4k = 4×1.6 = 6.4 cm
Steps of construction:
