Question

Steps for the construction of a quadrilateral PQRS in which PQ = 4 cm, QR = 3 cm, PS = 2.5 cm, PR = 4.5 cm and QS = 4 cm are given below.

Choose the correct order.

1: Draw a line segment PQ = 4 cm.

2: With 4.5 cm from P draw an arc.

3: Take 2.5 cm from P and draw an arc.

4: From Q take radius 3 cm and cut the arc drawn in step 2. Let the point of intersection be R.

5: Take 4 cm from Q and cut the arc drawn in step 4. Let the point of intersection of arcs be S. Join SR

• 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 PQRS can be drawn as follows:

Step 1: Draw a line segment PQ = 4 cm.

Step 2: With 4.5 cm from P draw an arc.

Step 3: From Q take radius 3 cm and cut the arc drawn in step 2. Let the point of intersection be R.

Step 4: Take 2.5 cm from P and draw an arc.

Step 5: Take 4 cm from Q and cut the arc drawn in step 4. Let the point of intersection of arcs be S.Join SR.

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