Solution
Steps of Construction Step I Draw a line segment BE = 6 cm Step II With B as center, draw an arc BR = 5 cm and with E as a centre, draw an arc EA = 7 cm. Step III Now, draw another arc BA = 9 cm with B as a centre, which cut-off arc AE. Step IV Draw another arc ER = 5 cm with E as a centre, which cut-off arc BR. Step V Now join BR, EA and AR.
Thus, we have required quadrilateral BEAR.
Also, AR = 5 cm.
