Question

Construct a parallelogram PQRS such that PQ = 5.2 cm, PR = 6.8 cm, and QS = 8.2 cm.

Answer 1

The given details are PQ = 5.2 cm, PR = 6.8 cm, and QS = 8.2 cm.

Steps to construct a parallelogram:

Step 1- Draw line QS of length 8.2 cm.

Step 2- Divide the line segment QS into half i.e 4.1 cm and mark that point as O. Now by taking O as center cut an arc on both the sides of O with a radius of 3.4cm each. And mark that points as P and R.

Step 3- cut an arc by taking Q as a center and radius QR = 5.2 cm to intersect with point R.

Step 4- cut an arc by taking Q as a center and radius QP = 5.2 cm to intersect with point P.

Step 5- Join sides PQ, PS, QR and RS.
