PC=AB+BC,∠APB=∠PAB=25°  From C,locate pt.A onPX such AC=6cm  From A construct∠PAB  equal ∠APB meets  PC atB.△ABC is required triangle

$${PC}={AB}+{BC},\angle{APB}=\angle{PAB}=\mathrm{25}° \\ $$$${From}\:{C},{locate}\:{pt}.{A}\:{onPX}\:{such}\:{AC}=\mathrm{6}{cm} \\ $$$${From}\:{A}\:{construct}\angle{PAB}\:\:{equal}\:\angle{APB}\:{meets} \\ $$$${PC}\:{atB}.\bigtriangleup{ABC}\:{is}\:{required}\:{triangle} \\ $$

b=6,a+c=8  b^2 =a^2 +c^2 −2ac.cosB=(a+c)^2 −2ac(1+cosB)  ⇒36=64−2ac(1+.64)⇒ac=8.54  ⇒ { ((a+c=8)),((ac=8.54)) :}⇒ { ((a=6.72,c=1.27)),((a=1.27,c=6.72)) :}  now you can draw the triangle.

$${b}=\mathrm{6},{a}+{c}=\mathrm{8} \\ $$$${b}^{\mathrm{2}} ={a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{ac}.{cosB}=\left({a}+{c}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{ac}\left(\mathrm{1}+{cosB}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{36}=\mathrm{64}−\mathrm{2}{ac}\left(\mathrm{1}+.\mathrm{64}\right)\Rightarrow{ac}=\mathrm{8}.\mathrm{54} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\begin{cases}{{a}+{c}=\mathrm{8}}\\{{ac}=\mathrm{8}.\mathrm{54}}\end{cases}\Rightarrow\begin{cases}{{a}=\mathrm{6}.\mathrm{72},{c}=\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{27}}\\{{a}=\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{27},{c}=\mathrm{6}.\mathrm{72}}\end{cases} \\ $$$${now}\:{you}\:{can}\:{draw}\:{the}\:{triangle}. \\ $$

thank you sir.  but we need a way to draw the triangle  only with ruler and compass without  calculation, like in Q42942.
