Question
Construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3.5cm, BC = 3.8cm, CD = DA = 4.5cm and diagonal BD = 5.6cm.

Answer


Steps of construction:
Step 1: Draw AB = 3.5cm
Step 2: With B as the centre and radius equal to 5.6cm, draw an arc.
Step 3: With A as the centre and radius equal to 4.5cm, draw another arc, cutting the previous arc at D.
Step 4: Join BD and AD.
Step 5: With D as the centre and radius equal to 4.5cm, draw an arc.
Step 6: With B as the centre and radius equal to 3.8cm, draw another arc, cutting the previous arc at C.
Step 7: Join BC and CD.
Thus, ABCD is the required quadrilateral.
