To construct a triangle similar to a given with its sides of the corresponding sides of draw a ray BX such that is an acute angle and X is on the opposite side of A with respect to BC. The minimum number of points to be located at equal distances on ray BX is
(A) 5 (B) 8 (C) 13 (D) 3
Answer (B) 8
Solution
To construct a triangle similar to a triangle, with its sides of the corresponding sides of given triangle, the minimum number of points to be located at an equal distance is equal to the greater of 8 and 5 in . Here
So, the minimum number of points to be located at equal distance on ray BX is 8.
