Question

Construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3.5 cm, BC = 5 cm, CD = 5.6 cm, DA = 4 cm, BD = 5.4 cm.

Answer 1

Steps of Construction:

(i) Construct a line segment AB = 3.5 cm.

(ii) Taking A as centre and 4 cm radius construct and arc and with B as centre and 5.4 cm construct an arc which meets the previous arc at the point D.

Now join AD and BD.

(iii) Taking B as centre and 5 cm radius, construct an arc

Taking D as centre and 5.6 cm radius, construct an arc which meets the previous arc at the point C.

(iv) Join BC and CD.

Hence, ABCD is the required quadrilateral.
