Question
Using ruler and compasses only, construct a parallelogram ABCD, in which : AB = 6 cm, AD = 3 cm and ∠ DAB = 60∘. In the same figure draw the bisector of angle DAB and let it meet DC at point P. Measure angle APB.

Solution
Steps :
1. Draw AB = 6 cm.
2. At A draw ∠ QAB = 60∘.
3. From AQ cut AD = 3 cm.
4. From D, draw an arc of radius 6 cm.
5. From B, draw an arc of radius 3 cm which meets first arc at C.
6. Join CD and BC.
Thus ABCD is the required ||gm.
7. Bisect ∠ DAB, so that bisector meets CD at P.
8. Join PB and measure ZAPB. ∴∠APB=90∘.
