STEPS OF CONSTRUCTIONS :1
 Draw a line segment AB = 6
2 cm 2
 At A,  draw ∠XAB = 50°, with the help of protractor
3  With A as centre and radius 5
4 cm, draw an arc that cut the ray AX at C
4  Join BC
Hence, ABC is the required ∆
Now, you can easily measure the length of the side BC with the help of ruler
At last, you can easily verify triangle inequality, by showing that sum of any 2 sides is greater than the third side
