Q2 of 805 Page 18

Construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which BC = 7.5 cm, AC =AD = 6 cm, CD = 5 cm and BD = 10 cm.

As three sides and two diagonals of quadrilateral is given.

Step 1-Using SSS construction condition first we will draw ΔBCD. Draw line BD of length 10 cm.



Step 2- Then using compass take a length of 7.5 cm and draw an arc by taking B as centre. Do the same by taking D as centre and length of 5 cm.


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



Step 4- Now for vertex A, using compass take a length of 6 cm and draw an arc by taking C as centre. Do the same by taking D as centre and length of 6 cm.



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

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).
