Q1 of 805 Page 18

Construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3.8 cm, BC = 3.0 cm, AD = 2.3 cm, AC = 4.5 cm and BD = 3.8 cm.

As three sides and two diagonals of quadrilateral is given.

Step 1-Using SSS construction condition first we will draw ΔABD. Draw line BD of length 3.8 cm.



Step 2- Then using compass take a length of 3.8 cm and draw an arc by taking B as centre. Do the same by taking D as centre and length of 2.3 cm.


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



Step 4- Now for vertex C, using compass take a length of 4.5 cm and draw an arc by taking A as centre. Do the same by taking B as centre and length of 3 cm.



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

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).
