Question
Construct a trapezium ABCD, when:
AB = CD = 3.2 cm, BC = 6.0 cm, AD = 4.4 cm and AD // BC.
Sum
Solution
Rough diagram-
Steps:
- Draw BC = 6 cm.
- From BC cut BE = AD = 4.4 cm.
- Draw triangle DEC such that DE = AB = 2 cm and CD = 3.2cm.
- Taking B and D as a center and radii 3.2 cm and 4.4 cm respectively, draw arcs cutting each other at A.
- Join AB and AD.
ABCD is the required trapezium.
