Construct a parallelogram, one of whose sides are 4.4 cm and whose diagonal are 5.6 cm and 7 cm. Measure the other side.
The given parallelogram ABCD can be drawn as follows:
Step 1: Draw a line segment AB = 4.4 cm.
Step 2: With 2.8 cm from B draw an arc. (Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.)
Step 3: Now, take 3.5 cm from A and cut the arc drawn in step 2 and the point of intersection of arcs is O.
Step 4: Join OA and OB.
Step 5: Produce AO to C such that OC = AO and produce BO to D such that OD = OB.
Step 6: Now, join AD, BC and CD.
Step 7: ABCD is the required parallelogram.
