Solution
In the cyclic quadrilateral PQRS, PQ=4cm, ∠P=100o, ∠PQS=40o and ∠SQR=70o. Construction: (i) Draw a rough diagram and mark the measurements. (ii) From P draw PX such that ∠QPX=100o. (iii) From Q draw QY such that ∠PQY=40o. Let QY meet PX at S. (iv) Draw perpendicular bisectors of PQ and PS intersecting each other at O. (v) With O as centre and OP(=OQ=OS) as radius, draw a circumcircle of ΔPQS. (vi) From Q, draw QZ such that ∠SQZ=70o which intersects the circle at R. (vii) Join RS. Now, PQRS is the required cyclic quadrilateral.
