Question

Steps for the construction of a quadrilateral ABCD with AB = 4 cm, BC = 6 cm, CD = 5.5 cm, AD= 5 cm and AC = 8 cm is given below.

Choose the correct order.

1. Draw a line segment AC of 8 cm.

2. With 4 cm as radius from A draw an arc.

3. With 5 cm as radius from A draw an arc to the opposite side of AC.

4. With 6 cm as radius cut the arc drawn in step 2. Let that point of intersection be B. Join AB and CB.

5. From C take 5.5 cm as radius and cut the arc drawn in step 4. Let the point of intersection be D. Join AD and CD.

• 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

The given quadrilateral ABCD can be drawn as follows:

Step 1: Draw a line segment AC of 8 cm

Step 2: With 4 cm as radius from A draw an arc.

Step 3: With 6 cm as radius cut the arc drawn in step 2. Let that point of intersection be B. Join AB and CB.

Step 4: With 5 cm as radius from A draw an arc to the opposite side of AC.

Step 5: From C take 5.5 cm as radius and cut the arc drawn in step 4. Let the point of intersection be D. Join AD and CD.


So the correct order is 1.2,4,3,5.
