To construct a triangle similar to a given $\triangle ABC$ with its sides $\frac{3}{7}$ of the corresponding sides of $\triangle ABC$,first draw a ray $BX$ such that $\angle CBX$ is an acute angle and $X$ lies on the opposite side of $A$ with respect to $BC$. Then locate points $B_{1}, B_{2}, B_{3}, \dots$ on $BX$ at equal distances and the next step is to join

  • A
    $B_{10}$ to $C$
  • B
    $B_{7}$ to $C$
  • C
    $B_{13}$ to $C$
  • D
    $B_{4}$ to $C$
