Question
Draw a parallelogram ABCD in which AB = 6.5cm, AD = 4.8cm and $\angle\text{BAD}=70^{\circ.}$ Measure its diagonals.

Answer

Since ABCD is a parallelogram, AB = DC = 6.5cm and AD = BC = 4.8cm. Given:$\angle\text{A}=70^{\circ}$
Steps of construction:
  1. Draw AD equal to 4.8cm.
  2. Make an angle of 70° at A and cut an arc of 6.5cm. Name it B.
  3. Cut an arc of 4.8cm from B and 6.5cm from D. Name it C.
  4. Join AB, BC and CD.
  5. Measuring the diagonal AC and BD, we get AC equal to 9.2cm and BD equal to 6.6.cm.
