Construction of a right triangle with a side and hypotenuse

Right angle is one of the angles of the triangle the and assimilating other parameters that are required to complete construction. Construction of a triangle based on RH congruence rule.

Objectives
To construct a right angled triangle with a side and hypotenuse

Prerequisites/Instructions, prior preparations, if any
Prior understanding of point, lines and angles, elements of triangle, properties of 	triangle

Materials/ Resources needed

 * Digital : Computer, geogebra application, projector.
 * Non digital : Worksheet and pencil
 * Geogebra files : “Triangle construction (Right Triangle - hyp and 1side)”

Process (How to do the activity)

 * To construct a right triangle what parameters are required.
 * How many angles and sides need to be known. How many right angles can be in a triangle?
 * What is side opposite to right triangle called? Is this parameter required to construct a right angled triangle?
 * Can a right triangle be constructed knowing two adjacent sides of a right triangle that are the arms of the right angle.

Evaluation at the end of the activity
 * What is the minimum value of the hypotenuse required to make the triangle
