Question

2. Construct a quadrilateral PQRS in which PQ = 4.5 cm, QR = 5 cm, SR = 4 cm,
QS = 5.5 cm and PS = 5 cm. Write the steps of construction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of Construction:

(i) Construct a line segment PR = 6.5 cm.

(ii) Taking P as centre and 4.5 cm radius and R as centre and 6 cm radius construct arcs which intersect each other at Q.

(iii) Now join PQ and QR.

(iv) Taking P as centre and 5 cm radius and R as centre and 5.5 cm radius, construct arcs which intersect each other at S.

(v) Join PS and SR.

Hence, PQRS is the required quadrilateral.
