Solution

Given: In the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, AB=6cm, AC=7cm, BC=6cm, and AD=4.2cm.
Construction:
(i) Draw a rough diagram and mark the measurements.
(ii) With A and B as centres, draw arcs with radii 7cm and 6cm respectively, to intersect at C. Join AC and BC.
(iii) Draw the perpendicular bisectors of AB and BC to intersect at O.
(iv) With O as the centre and OA(=OB=OC) as radius draw the circumcircle of ΔABC.
(v) With A as the centre and radius 4.2cm. Draw an arc intersecting the circumcircle at D.
(vi) Join AD and CD.
Now, ABCD is the required cyclic quadrilateral.
