Construct a parallelogram ABCD in which BC=5cm, BCD = 120° and CD=4.8cm.

The given parallelogram ABCD can be drawn as follows:


Step 1: Draw a line segment BC = 5 cm.


Step 2: At C, draw BCX = 120°.


Step 3: Cut CD = 4.8 cm on ray CX


Step 4: Draw an arc from B at a radius of 4.8 cm.


Step 5: Now, take 5 cm from D and cut the arc drawn in step 4 and the point of intersection of arcs is A.


Step 6: Now, join AB and AD.


Step 7: ABCD is the required parallelogram.
