I hope this will help you.

Answer 2

$ABCD$ is the required trapezium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Construct a trapezium $ABCD$ where $AB\parallel CD$,$AB=6.5cm$,$CD=8.8cm$ and $AD=BC=3.5cm$

Following steps:

• Draw a line segment  $CD=8.8cm$
• On the line $CD$, cut off $CE=(8.8-6.5)=2.3cm$
• With  $C$ as center  and radius $3.5cm$ and with $E$ as center and radius $3.5cm$ draw two areas to cut each other at point $B$

• With $D$as center and radius  $3.5cm$ and $B$ as center and radius $6.5cm$ draw two arcs to cut each other at point $A$.
• Join $AD$ and $AB$

Now, $ABCD$ is the required trapezium.
