Question
Construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which BC = 4 cm, CA = 5.6 cm, AD = 4.5 cm, CD = 5 cm and BD = 6.5 cm.
Solution
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw BC = 4 cm .
Step II: With B as the centre and radius 6 . 5 cm, draw an arc .
Step III : With C as the centre and radius 5 cm, draw an arc to intersect the arc drawn in Step II at D .
Step IV: With C as the centre and radius 5 . 6 cm, draw an arc on the same side .
Step V : With D as the centre and radius 4 . 5 cm, draw an arc to intersect the arc drawn in Step IV at A .
Step VI: Join BA, AC, DA, BD and CD to obtained the required quadrilateral .
