Use a ruler and compass only for all the constructions in this question.

a) Construct a triangle XYZ in which XY= 6cm, YZ =5cm and angle XYZ= 120⁰

b) Measure XZ and angle YXZ

c) Construct the perpendicular bisector of XZ and let it meet XZ at N

d) Locate a point W on the opposite of XZ as Y and that XW = ZW and YW =9cm and hence complete triangle XZW.

e) Measure WM and hence calculate the area of triangle XZW.
