Question

Construct a quadrilateral XYZW in which XY = 5 cm, YZ = 6 cm, ZW = 7 cm, WX = 3 cm and XZ = 9 cm.

Answer 1

The given details are XY = 5cm, YZ = 6cm, ZW = 7cm, WX = 3cm and XZ = 9cm.

Steps to construct a quadrilateral:

Step 1- Draw line XZ of length 9cm.

Step 2- Cut an arc by taking X as the centre radius XY = 5cm. Do the same by taking Z as centre and radius ZY = 6cm.

Step 3- Now join the intersection point from X and Z and label it as Y.

Step 4- For vertex W, cut an arc by taking X as the center and radius XW = 3cm. Similarly, taking Z as the center and radius ZW = 7cm.

Step 5- Join the intersection point from X and Z and label it as W.
