Q6 of 805 Page 18

Construct a kite ABCD in which AB = 4 cm, BC = 4.9 cm, AC = 7.2 cm.

For a kite ABCD AB=AD and AC=BC.

Step 1-Using SSS construction condition first we will construct ΔABC. Draw line AC of length 7.2 cm.



Step 2- Then using compass take a length of 4 cm and draw an arc by taking A as the centre. Do the same by taking C as centre and length of 4.9 cm.


Step 3-Now join the intersection point to A and C and label it as B.



Step 4- Now for vertex D, using compass take a length of 4 cm and draw an arc by taking A as the centre. Do the same by taking C as centre and length of 4.9 cm.



Step 5-Join the intersection point to A and C and label it as D.

Construct, if possible, a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 6 cm, BC = 7 cm, CD = 3 cm, AD = 5.5 cm and AC = 11 cm. Give reasons for not being able to construct, if you cannot. (Not possible, because in triangle ACD, AD + CD < AC).
