Answer
Steps of construction :
Draw a line segment BC = 6 cm.
With B as center and radius 6 cm draw an arc.
With C as center and radius 6 cm draw another arc which intersects first arc at A.
Join AB and AC. ABC is the required triangle.
Draw perpendicular bisectors of AC, AB and BC intersecting each other at O.
With O as center and radius OA or OB or OC draw a circle which will pass through A, B or C.
Hence, above is the required circumcircle of triangle.

Using a ruler and a compass, construct a triangle ABC in which AB = 7 cm, ∠CAB = 60° and AC = 5 cm. Construct the locus of :
(i) points equidistant from AB and AC.
(ii) points equidistant from BA and BC.
Hence construct a circle touching the three sides of the triangle internally.
Construct a triangle ABC in which AB = 5 cm, BC = 6.8 cm and median AD = 4.4 cm. Draw incircle of this triangle.
