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.
