Question

Construct a quadrilateral BEAR in which BE = 6 cm, EA = 7 cm, RB = RE = 5 cm and BA = 9 cm. Measure its fourth side.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

Step I: Draw a line segment BE = 6 cm.

Step II: With B as centre, draw an arc BR = 5 cm and with E as a centre, draw an arc EA = 7 cm.

Step III: Now, draw an another arc BA = 9 cm with B as centre, which cut-off arc AE.

Step IV: Draw an another arc ER = 5 cm with E as a centre, which cut-off arc BR.

Step V: Now join BR, EA and AR.

Thus, we have required quadrilateral BEAR.

Also, AR = 5 cm.
