Diagram
Sum

Solution


Steps of construction:

Step I: Draw HO = 6 cm.

Step II: With H as centre and radius HE = 4 cm, draw an arc.

Step III: With O as centre and radius OE = 3 cm, draw an arc, intersecting the arc drawn in step II at E.

Step IV: With E as centre and radius EM = 6 cm, draw an arc opposite to the side HE.

Step V: With O as centre and radius OM = 4 cm, draw an arc, intersecting the arc drawn in step IV at M.

Step VI: Join HE, OE, EM and OM.

Hence, HOME is the required parallelogram.
