how to construct kite in geometry?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First draw a straight line segment equal to the length of the shorter diagonal. Let's name this AB. So AB has a length of 5.2 cm.
2. Now using your compass set its width to the length of the smaller side, which is 4.3 cm. Set the compass on A and draw an arc. Draw another arc with the compass set on B and intersect the earlier arc you had drawn. Indicate the point of intersection of the two arcs as C.
3. Repeat what you did in step 2, but this time set the width of the compass equal to the length of the longer side, which in this case would be 7.6 cm. Also, this time indicate the point of intersection of the two arcs as D.
4. Once you have marked the points A, B, C and D, join AC, CB, BD and DA using your ruler.
