Q4 of 21 Page 67

Construct the quadrilaterals with the given measurements. And write steps of construction.

Rhombus MATH with AT = 4 cm, MAT = 120o.

GIVEN : In Rhombus MATH,

AT = 4 cm


MAT = 120o


PROCEDURE :


Step 1 : Draw a rough sketch of the required quadrilateral and mark the given measurements.


Here , we are given only 2 measurements. But as MATH is a rhombus , we can also write that MA = AT = TH = HM = 4cm.


(now we got 5 measurements in total)



Step 2 : Draw ΔMAT using S.A.S property of construction , by taking MA = 4 cm , MAT = 120° and AT = 4 cm.



Step 3 : To locate the fourth vertex ‘H’ , draw an arc , with center T and radius 4cm (TH=4cm).


Draw another arc with center M and radius 4 cm (MH=4cm) which cuts the previous arc at H.



Step 4: Join TH and MH to complete the required rhombus MATH.
