Construct a parallelogram ABCD in which AB=5.2cm, BC=4.7cm and AC=7.6cm.

The given parallelogram ABCD can be drawn as follows:


Step 1: Draw a line segment AB = 5.2 cm.


Step 2: With 4.7 cm from B draw an arc.


Step 3: From A take radius of 7.6 cm and cut the arc drawn in step 2 and the point of intersection is C.


Step 4: Join BC and AC.


Step 5: Draw another arc from A at radius of 4.7 cm.


Step 6: Now, take 7.6 cm from B and cut the arc drawn in step 4 and the point of intersection of arcs is D.


Step 7: Now, join CD and AD.


ABCD is the required parallelogram.
