Question
Construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 2.8 cm, BC = 3.1 cm, CD = 2.6 cm, and DA = 3.3 cm and ∠A = 60°.
Solution
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw AB = 2 . 8 cm .
Step II: Construct ∠BAD = 60° .
Step III : With A as the centre and radius 3 . 3 cm, cut off AD = 3 . 3 cm .
Step IV: With D as the centre and radius 2 . 6 cm, draw an arc .
Step V : With B as the centre and radius 3 . 1 cm, draw an arc to intersect the arc drawn in Step IV at C .
Step VI: Join BC and CD to obtained the required quadrilateral .
