Q5 of 805 Page 17

Construct a parallelogram, one of whose sides are 4.4 cm and whose diagonal are 5.6 cm and 7 cm. Measure the other side.

STEP 1: At first draw a base line of 4.4 cm by scale.



STEP 2: From any point of AB, let it be M, draw a perpendicular to AB by protractor.



STEP 3: Then from any point of the perpendicular line, let N draw another perpendicular line to this line i.e., parallel to AB by protractor.



STEP 4: Now, from A draw an arc of radius 5.6 cm on the 2nd perpendicular at point C and from B draw an arc of radius 7 cm on the 2nd perpendicular at point D with the help of compass. Join AD and BC.



ABCD is the required parallelogram.
