We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Steps of construction:
Step 1: Draw AB=
Step 2: With A as the centre and radius
, draw an arc.
Step 3: With B as the centre and radius
, draw another arc, cutting the previous arc at point O.
Step 4: Join OA and OB.
Step 5: Produce OA to C, such that OC= AO. Produce OB to D, such that OB=OD.
Step 5: Join AD, BC, and CD.
Thus, ABCD is the required parallelogram. The other side is 4.5 cm in length.
