Construction of triangle givern a,b,A.
To see a sketh of the triangle click here.

Given the following segments and an angle construct a triangle:

First, construct a line for the triangle to be built upon. Then copy angle A(EFG) onto that line.

From A copy b and call the intersection point C.

Now from C strike an arc of length a onto the line not incident to C and call its intersection B.

Connect point A and point B. This segment is side c.

The construction is now complete.
