Answer

Steps of construction:

  1. Draw a line segment AB = 4.6 cm
  2. With A as center and radius 6.1 cm, draw an arc.
  3. With B as center and radius 3.2 cm, draw an arc to meet the previous arc at C.
  4. Join AC and BC.
  5. Again, with A as center and radius 3.2 cm, draw an arc.
  6. With C as center and radius 4.6 cm, draw an arc to meet the previous arc at D.
  7. Join AD and CD. Then ABCD is the required parallelogram.
