Answer
Steps of construction :
Draw BC = 5 cm as base.
Make angle 60° at B.
Cut off an arc of 6 cm from B at the angle and mark it A as in figure.
Since, D is equidistant from AB and BC hence, it will lie on angle bisector of ∠ABC.
Make an arc of 5 cm from point A take point D where the arc cuts angle bisector BE.
Join, the points A, B, C and D to form quadrilateral ABCD.
On measuring we get, CD = 5.25 approximately.
