Question

Steps for the construction of a parallelogram ABCD in which AB = 6 cm, BC = 4.5 cm and diagonal AC = 6.8 cm is given below.

Choose the correct order.

1. Draw AB = 6 cm.

2. With A as centre and radius 6.8 cm, draw an arc.

3. With A as centre and radius 4.5 cm, draw an arc.

4. With B as center and radius 4.5 cm draw another arc, cutting the previous arc at C. Join BC and AC.

5. With C as centre and radius 6 cm draw another arc, cutting the previously drawn arc at D. Join DA and DC.

• A. 1,2,4,3,5
• B. 1,2,3,4,5
• C. 1,2,5,4,3
• D. 1,2,3,5,4

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1,2,4,3,5
