Philoid · Accepted Answer

The given parallelogram ABCD can be drawn as follows:

Step 1: Draw a line segment AB = 4.3 cm.

Step 2: With 6.8 cm from B draw an arc.

Step 3: From A take radius of 4 cm and cut the arc drawn in step 2 and the point of intersection is D.

Step 4: Join AD and BD.

Step 5: Draw another arc from B at radius of 4 cm.

Step 6: Now, take 6.8 cm from A and cut the arc drawn in step 4 and the point of intersection of arcs is C.

Step 7: Now, join BC and AC.

ABCD is the required parallelogram.
