Q4 of 805 Page 18

Construct a quadrilateral ABCD when BC = 5.5 cm, CD = 4.1 cm, A = 70°, B = 110° and D = 85°.

We know that sum of all angles in a quadrilateral is 3600


+ + + = 360o


70o + 110 o + + 85o = 360o


= 360o – 265o = 95o


= 95o


Step 1: Draw the side BC = 5.5 cm



Step 2: Draw = 110°



Step 3: Draw = 95°



Step 4: With C as centre and radius equal to 4.1 cm draw an arc and name the point as D



Step 5: With D as centre ,construct an angle 85° and mark the point of intersection of line BX and the angle 85° as point A



Step 6: Join the points C and D



ABCD is the required quadrilateral
