Construct the following quadrilaterals

Quadrilateral ABCD

AB = 4.5 cm

BC = 5.5 cm

CD = 4 cm

AD = 6 cm

AC = 7 cm

Answer:

Steps of construction :

(1) First, we draw ABC using SSS construction condition.

(2) Now, we have to locate the fourth point D. This 'D? would be on the side opposite to B with reference to AC.

(3) D is 6 cm away from A. So, draw an arc of radius 6cm. D is 4 cm away from A. So, draw an arc of radius 4 cm.

(4) D should be lie on both the arcs drawn. So, its the point of intersection of the two arcs. ABCD is the required quadrilateral.
