Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The given parallelogram ABCD can be drawn as follows:

Step 1: Draw a line segment AB = 5.2 cm.

Step 2: With 4.7 cm from B draw an arc.

Step 3: From A take radius of 7.6 cm and cut the arc drawn in step 2 and the point of intersection is C.

Step 4: Join BC and AC.

Step 5: Draw another arc from A at radius of 4.7 cm.

Step 6: Now, take 7.6 cm from B and cut the arc drawn in step 4 and the point of intersection of arcs is D.

Step 7: Now, join CD and AD.

ABCD is the required parallelogram.
