Answer

Construct the point where the rays of the angles at P and Q intersect, label it as R, and form the triangle PQR.

Steps

Step 1 :Draw a line segment PQ of length 8 cm.

Step 2 :With P as the center, draw a 60-degree angle using a pair of compasses.

Step 3 :With Q as the center, draw a 40-degree angle using a protractor.

Step 4 :Construct the point where the rays of the angles at P and Q intersect, label it as R, and form the triangle PQR.
