Question

construct a parallelogram ABCD such that a b is 4.8 CM BC is 4 cm and diagonal BD is 5.4 CM

Answer 1

TO CONSTRUCT: A parallelogram ABCD, AB = 4.8 cm, diagonal Bd = 5.4 cm , altitude from A to BC = 4 cm.

STEP 1: Draw a ray AX & cut AL = 4 cm on it.

STEP 2: On AX at point L construct a perpendicular LY

STEP 3: Taking A as centre with 4.8 cm radius draw an arc cutting extended YL at point B. Join A & B.

STEP 4: Now, with same radius 4.8 cm , taking C as centre draw an arc.

STEP 5 : And then taking A as centre , with BC as radius, cut the previous arc at point D.

STEP 6 : Join AD & CD.

ABCD will be the required parallelogram.
