Question
Construct a quadrilateral $ABCD$ given $AD = 5\ cm, AB = 5.5\ cm, BC = 2.5\ cm, AC = 7.1\ cm$ and $BD = 8\ cm$.

Answer



Steps of construction:
Step $I$: Draw $AB = 5.5\ cm$.
Step $II$: With $A$ as the centre and radius $7.1\ cm$, draw an arc.
Step $III$: With $B$ as the centre and radius $2.5\ cm$, draw an arc to intersect the arc drawn in Step $II$ at $C$.
Step $IV$: With $B$ as the centre and radius $8\ cm$, draw an arc.
Step $V$: With $A$ as the centre and radius $5\ cm$, draw an arc to intersect the arc drawn in Step $IV$ at $D$.
Step $VI$: Join $DA, DB, BC, AC$ and $CD$ to obtain the required quadrilateral.
