Answer

Steps of construction:

  1. Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm
  2. At A, construct ∠BAX = 45°.
  3. From AX, cut off AD = 6 cm.
  4. With B as centre and radius 3.6 cm, draw an arc.
  5. With D as centre and radius 5 cm, draw an arc to meet the previous arc at C.
  6. Join BC and DC. Then, ABCD is the required quadrilateral.
