Answer
Steps of construction:Step 1: Draw AB = 6.5cm.
Step 2: Draw a perpendicular at point A. Name that ray as AX. From point A, draw an arc of length 2.5cm, on the ray AX and name that point as L.
Step 3: On point L, make a perpendicular. Draw a straight line YZ passing through L, which is perpandicular to the ray AX.
Step 4: Cut an arc of length 3.4cm on the line YZ and name it as C.
Step 5: From point C, cut an arc of length 6.5cm on the line YZ. Name that point as D.
Step 6: Join BC and AD.
Therefore, quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

Construct, if possible, a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 6cm, BC = 7cm, CD = 3cm, AD = 5.5cm and AC = 11cm. Give reasons for not being able to construct, if you cannot. (Not possible, because in triangle ACD, AD + CD < AC).
