Steps of construction:
Draw base BC = 3.2 cm.
With B and C as center draw arcs of radius 3.2 cm intersecting at point A.
Join ABC, ΔABC is required triangle.
Draw two parallel lines on opposite sides of BC at a distance of 2 cm from it.
Mark the points of intersection at AB and AB produced as P and Q respectively.
