C B X D A

Step by Step Explanation:
  1. Let ABCABC be the required triangle such that BC=17 cm,∠B=90∘BC=17 cm,∠B=90∘ and AC+AB=23 cmAC+AB=23 cm. Draw a BC=17 cm.BC=17 cm. C B
  2. At BB construct ∠CBX=90∘.∠CBX=90∘. C B X
  3. From BB cut off BD=23 cmBD=23 cm. C B X D
  4. Join CDCD and draw perpendicular bisector of CDCD intersecting BDBD at AA. C B X D A
  5. Join ACAC to get the required triangle ABCABC. C B X D A
