Q1 of 805 Page 17

Construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which cm, cm, cm, cm and cm.

Given :


AB = 4.2 cm , BC = 6 cm , CD = 5.2 cm , DA = 5 cm , AC = 8 cm ,


Construction :


Step 1 : Draw segment AB of length 4.2 cm.



Step 2 : Taking A as centre draw an arc of radius 8 cm.



Step 3 : Taking B as centre draw an arc of radius 6 cm, which cuts the arc drawn in step 2. Point of intersection of two arcs is C.



Step 4 : Join AC and BC.



Step 5 : Taking A as centre draw an arc of radius 5 cm.



Step 6 : Taking C as centre draw an arc of radius 5.2 cm, which cuts the arc drawn in step 5. Point of intersection of two arcs is D.



Step 7 : Join AD and CD.



ABCD is the required quadrilateral.
