Question
Construct a quadrilateral ABCD given AD = 3.5 cm, BC = 2.5 cm, CD = 4.1 cm, AC = 7.3 cm and BD = 3.2 cm.
Solution
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw CD = 4 . 1 cm .
Step II: With C as the centre and radius 7 . 3 cm, draw an arc .
Step III : With D as the centre and radius 3 . 5 cm, draw an arc to intersect the arc drawn in Step II at A .
Step IV: With D as the centre and radius 3 . 2 cm, draw an arc on the other side of AC .
Step V : With C as the centre and radius 2 . 5 cm, draw an arc to intersect the arc drawn in Step IV at B .
Step VI: Join BA, DA, BC and BD and AC to obtained the required quadrilateral .
