Construct the following quadrilaterals.
(i) Quadrilateral MORE
MO = 6 cm
OR = 4.5 cm
∠M = 60°
∠O = 105°
∠R = 105°
(ii) Quadrilateral PLAN
PL = 4 cm
LA = 6.5 cm
∠P = 90°
∠A = 110°
∠N = 85°
(iii) Parallelogram HEAR
HE = 5 cm
EA = 6 cm
∠R = 85°
(i) The steps of construction are:
Step (a) Draw a line segment MO of 6 cm and an angle of 105° at point O.
As vertex R is 4.5 cm away from the vertex O, therefore, cut a line segment OR of 4.5 cm from this ray
Step (b) Now, draw an angle of 105° at point R
Step (c) Draw an angle of 60° at point M and this ray meet the previously drawn ray from R at point E
Thus, MORE is the required quadrilateral, as given below,
(ii) As we know that the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°
In quadrilateral PLAN,
∠ P + ∠ L + ∠ A + ∠ N = 360°
90° + ∠ L + 110° + 85° = 360°
285° + ∠ L = 360°
∠ L = 360° - 285°
= 75°
The steps of construction are:
Step (a) Draw a line segment PL of 4 cm and also draw an angle of 75° at point L. Vertex A is 6.5 cm away from vertex L so cut a line segment LA of 6.5 cm from this ray
Step (b) From point A draw an angle of 110°
Step (c) Draw an angle of 90° at point P. This ray will meet the previously drawn ray from A at point N
Thus, the required quadrilateral is shown below:
(iii) The steps of construction are:
Step (a) Draw a line segment HE of 5 cm and an angle of 85° at point E.
Vertex A is 6 cm away from vertex E, cut a line segment EA of 6 cm from this ray
Step (b) Vertex R is 6 cm and 5 cm away from vertex H and A respectively.
So by taking radius as 6 cm and 5 cm, draw arcs from point H and A respectively. These will intersect each other at point R
Step (c) Join R to H and A
Thu, the required quadrilateral is shown below:
(iv) Rectangle OKAY
OK = 7 cm
KA = 5 cm
Step (a) Draw a line segment OK of 7 cm and an angle of 90° at point K
Vertex A is 5 cm away from vertex K, cut a line segment KA of 5 cm from this ray
Step (b) Vertex Y is of 5 cm and 7 cm away from vertex O and A respectively. Now by taking 5 cm and 7 cm as radius draw arcs from point O and A respectively and these will intersect at point Y
Step (c) Join Y to A and O
Thus, the required quadrilateral is shown below:
