Answer:

Given:

AB

is parallel to

DC

, BC = 5 cm, CD = 4 cm and AD = 5 cm.

Steps for construction:

Step 1 : Draw a rough diagram and mark the given measurements. Draw

CE

DA

. Now AECD is a parallelogram. ∴ EC = 5 cm, AE = DC = 4 cm, EB = 3cm.

Step 2 : Draw a line segment AB = 7 cm.

Step 3 : Mark E on

AB

such that AE = 4 cm . [ ∵ DC = 4 cm ]

Step 4 : With B and E as centres draw two arcs of radius 5 cm and let them cut at C.

Step 5 : With B as centre and radius 6 cm draw an arc cutting

BY

at C.

Step 6 : With C and A as centres and with 4 cm and 5 cm as radii draw two arcs. Let them cut at D.

Step 7 : Join

AD

and

CD

. ABCD is the required trapezium.

Step 8 : From D draw

DF

AB

and measure the length of DF. DF = h = 4.8 cm, AB = a = 7 cm, CD = b = 4 cm.

Calculation of area:In the trapezium ABCD, a = 7 cm, b = 4 cm and h = 4.8 cm.

Area of the trapezium ABCD =
