Solution
Draw EY = 4 cm
→ With Y as centre & radius = AY = 8cm draw an arc.
with E as center & radius = EA = 4cm, cut the previous arc
Make the point as A. → Join EA
→ SY = 6cm ∴ AS = SY = 6 cm ∵ 2 pairs of sides are equal in a kite. With Y as center & YS as radius, draw an arc. With A as center & as radius, cut the previous arc to get points.
