Question 4
Construct a parallelogram OKAY where OK=5.5 cm and KA=4.2 cm.

Answer 1

Given OK=5.5 cm and KA = 4.2 cm

To construct: A parallelogram OKAY.

Steps of construction:

(a) Draw a line segment OK=5.5 cm.

(b) Draw an angle of any measureb let X at K and draw an arc of radius KA=4.2 cm, which intersect point A.

(c) Draw another arc of radius AY=5.5 cm and at point O, draw another arc of radius 4.2 cm with angle 180-X which intersect at Y. [ sum of adjecent angles in a parallelogram is 180 ]

(d) Join AY and OY.

It is the required parallelogram OKAY.
