Question

5. A student attempted to draw a quadrilateral PQRS where PQ = 4 cm, QR= 5 cm, RS = 5.5 cm,
PS = 3 cm and QS = 7 cm, but could not draw it. What is the reason?​

Answer 1

1. Draw a line segment PR=7 cm.

2. With 4 cm as radius, draw an arc from P.

3. Similarly, with radius as 6 cm from R, cut the arc just drawn.

4. They will intersect at Q. Join PQ and QR.

5. With 5.5 cm as radius, draw an arc from P. Similarly, with radius as 5 cm from R, cut the arc just drawn.

6. They will intersect at S. Join PS and RS.

7. PQRS is the required quadrilateral.
