Mathematics
Construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3.3 cm, BC = 4.9 cm, CD = 5.8 cm, DA = 4 cm and BD = 5.3 cm.
Answer
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line segment AB = 3.3 cm.
- With centre A and radius 4 cm, draw an arc.
- With centre B and radius 5.3 cm, draw an arc to meet the previous arc at D.
- Join AD and BD.
- With centre B and radius 4.9 cm, draw an arc.
- With centre D and radius 5.8 cm, draw an arc to meet the previous arc at C.
- Join BC and DC. Then ABCD is the required quadrilateral.
