Question
Construction of quadrilaterals when two adjacent sides and three angles are given: 4. Construct a quadrilateral PQRS in which PQ = 4.5 cm ∠PQR=120∘,QR=3.8cm,∠QRS=100∘ and ∠QPS=60∘.

Solution
First we draw a rough sketch of quadrilateral PQRS and write down its dimensions, as shown.(Rough Sketch) → Steps of Construction:
Step 1: Draw PQ = 4.5 cm. Step 2: Make ∠PQX=120∘. Step 3: With Q as center and radius 3.8 cm, draw an arc, cutting QX at R. Join QR. Step 4: Make ∠QRY=100∘. Step 5: ∠QPZ=60∘ so that PZ and RY intersect each other at the point S. Then, PQRS is the required quadrilateral.
