Construct the following quadrilaterals
(i) Quadrilateral ABCD
AB = 4.5 cm
BC = 5.5 cm
CD = 4 cm
AD = 6 cm
AC = 7 cm
(ii) Quadrilateral JUMP
JU = 3.5 cm
UM = 4 cm
MP = 5 cm
PJ = 4.5 cm
PU = 6.5 cm
(iii) Parallelogram MORE
OR = 6 cm
RE = 4.5 cm
EO = 7.5 cm
(iv) Rhombus BEST
BE = 4.5 cm
ET = 6 cm
(i) The rough sketch of this quadrilateral:
(a) ΔABC can be constructed as follows:
(b) Vertex D is 6 cm away from vertex A.
Hence, while taking A as centre, draw an arc of radius 6 cm
(c) Taking C as centre, draw an arc of radius 4 cm which cuts the previous arc at point D. Now, Join D to A and C
ABCD is the required quadrilateral
(ii) The rough sketch of this quadrilateral:
(a) Δ JUP can be constructed as follows:
(b) Vertex M is 5 cm away from vertex P and 4 cm away from vertex U
Now, Taking P and U as centers draw arcs of radii 5 cm and 4 cm respectively. Let the point of intersection be M
(c) Now, Join M to P and U
Hence, JUMP is the required quadrilateral
(iii) As we all know that opposite sides of a parallelogram are not only equal in length but also are parallel to each other
Therefore,
ME = OR,
MO = ER
The rough sketch of this parallelogram:
(a) Δ EOR can be constructed as follows:
(b) Vertex M is 4.5 cm away from vertex O and 6 cm away from vertex E. Hence, while taking O and E as centers, draw arcs of 4.5 cm radius and 6 cm radius respectively
Let, these will intersect each other at point M
(c) Join M to O and E
Therefore, MORE is the required parallelogram
(iv) As we all know that all sides of a rhombus are of the same measure
Therefore,
BE = ES = ST = TB
A rough sketch of this rhombus is as follows:
(a) Δ BET can be constructed as follows:
(b) Vertex S is 4.5 cm away from vertex E and also from vertex T.
Hence, taking E and T as centers, draw arcs of 4.5 cm radius, which will intersect each other at point S
(c) Join these intersected arcs, we will get the required rhombus
