Question
Construct a kite ABCD in which AB = 4 cm, BC = 4.9 cm and AC = 7.2 cm.
Solution
\[\text { Steps of construction }: \]
\[\text { Step I: Draw AC = 7 . 2 cm } . \]
\[\text { Step II: With A as the centre and radius 4cm, draw arcs on both sides of the line segment AC }. \]
\[\text { Step III : With C as the centre and radius 4 . 9 cm, draw arcs on both sides of AC intersecting the previous arcs of step II at B and D }. \]
\[\text { Step IV: Join BA, DA, BC and CD .} \]
\[\text { Thus, the quadrilateral ABCD so obtained is the required kite } .\]
