Mathematics
Construct a trapezium ABCD when one of parallel sides AB = 4.8 cm, height = 2.6 cm, BC = 3.1 cm and AD = 3.6 cm.
Answer
Step construction:
- Draw a line segment AB = 4.8 cm.
- At A, draw a ray AZ making an angle of 90° and cut off AL = 2.6 cm.
- At L, draw a ray LX parallel to AB.
- With centre A and radius 3.6 cm and with centre B and radius 3.1 cm, draw arcs intersecting LX at D and C respectively.
- Join AD and BC. Then ABCD is the required trapezium.
