Construct a parallelogram PQRS such that PQ = 5.2 cm, PR = 6.8 cm, and QS = 8.2 cm.

In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal and diagonals bisect each other.


Steps of construction:


Step I: Draw QS = 8.2 cm



Step II: With Q as the center and radius 4.1 cm, draw an arc on QS intersecting it at O.


Step III: With O as the center and radius 3.4 cm, draw an arc above and below QS.



Step IV: With Q as the center and radius 5.2 cm draw an arc intersecting the previous arc above QS at P.


Step V: With S as the center and radius 5.2 cm, draw an arc to intersect the arc below QS at R.



Step VI: Join QR, QP, PS, and SR.


PQRS is the required quadrilateral.
