The given details are PQ = 4 cm, QR = 5 cm ∠P = 50°, ∠Q = 110° and ∠R = 70°.
Steps to construct a quadrilateral:
Step 1- Draw a line PQ = 4cm
Step 2- Construct an angle of 50o at P.
Step 3- Construct an angle of 110o at Q.
Step 4- Cut an arc of radius 5cm with Q as the centre to mark that point as R.
Step 5- Construct an angle of 70o at R such that it meets the line segment PX, mark that point as S.
Step 6- Now join QR, RS and PS.
