Question

A quadrilateral ABCD is to be constructed. What are the measurements required to construct the quadrilateral ABCD from the given options?

• A. AB, BC, CD and DA
• B. AB, BC, CD, DA and BD
• C. AB, BC, CD, AC and BD
• D. AB and BC

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

AB, BC, CD, AC and BD

We know that we need minimum 5 measurements from a quadrilateral to draw it.
In one option we have 5 measurements as AB, BC, CD, DA and BD. Here AB, BC, CD, DA are sides and BD is a diagonal.
The construction is possible.

AB, BC, CD, AC and BD. These are 3 sides and 2 diagonals. So, it is possible to construct the quadrilateral.

In other two options only 4 sides and 2 sides are mentioned. So construction is not possible.
