Question

Construct a cyclic quadrilateral $PQRS$ such that $PQ=QR=4.3cm$ and diagonals $PR=6.2cm,QS=5.8cm$. Then find $m\angle PQR$.

• A. ${99}^{\circ }$
• B. ${93}^{\circ }$
• C. ${103}^{\circ }$
• D. ${111}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

The correct option is B ${93}^{\circ }$

• Draw a line segment $QR$ of length $4.3cm$.
  
• From $Q$ make an arc of length $4.3cm$.
  
• From $R$ make an arc of length $6.2cm$.
  
• Both these arcs cuts each other at point $P$.
  
• Join $PQ$ and $PR$.
  
• Draw perpendicular bisector of line $PQ$ and $QR$. The perpendiculars intersect each other at $O$.
  
• Draw a circle of radius $OQ$ from $O$ as center. This circle also touches $P,Q$ and $R$.
• From $Q$ mark an arc of $5.8cm$, this arc cuts the circle at point $S$
  
• Join $PQRS$, is the required quadrilateral.
