construct a quadrilateral NOSE where NO = 3.8 cm, OS=2.8cm, NE= 4cm, NS=4 cm and OE =5 cm
Answers
Steps Of Construction :
Step 1 : Draw a line segment NO = 3.8 cm
Step 2 : From O take an arc of 2.8 cm for OS
Step 3 : From N take an arc of 4 cm for NS
Step 4 : Join both the arcs and name the point of intersection as S
Step 5 : From O take an arc of 5 cm for OE
Step 6 : From N take an arc of 4 cm for NE
Step 7 : Join both the arcs and name the point of intersection as E
Quadrilateral NOSE is formed with the diagonals OE and NS.

Construction Facts :
• Measurements of at least 5 part must be given.
• The 5 parts can be :
- When 4 Sides and 1 Diagonal are given.
- When 2 Adjacent Sides and 3 Angles are given.
- When 3 Sides and 2 Included Angles are given.
• Angles should be construed using ruler and compasses whenever possible.
• Length of Diagonal have to be less than the sum of lengths of adjacent sides.

QUESTION :
Construct a quadrilateral NOSE where NO = 3.8 cm, OS=2.8cm, NE= 4cm, NS=4 cm and OE =5 cm.
SOLUTION :
See the above attachment..
STEPS FOR CONSTRUCTION :
Step 1 : Draw the line segment NO joining the points N and O to be of length 3.8 cm.
Step 2 : At the point O, Draw an arc of Radius 2.8 cm .
Step 3 : At point N, draw an arc of Radius 4 cm.
Step 4 : At point O, draw the diagonal i.e, draw another arc of Radius 5 cm.
Step 5 : The above arc will cut the arc drawn at N at a point E
Step 6 : At point N, draw the other diagonal i.e, draw another arc of Radius 4 cm.
Step 6 : The above arc will cut the arc drawn at O at a point S
Step 7 : Join OS
