Construction of Quadrilateral when length of four sides and one angle is given

Construction of Quadrilateral when length of four sides and one angle are given: Here we will construct a quadrilateral when length of four sides and one angle is given to us. To construct such a quadrilateral that side which contains the angle given to us is drawn as the base. First we draw a rough sketch and will then follow the steps

Step 1: Construct a line segment of length given for the side AB. We have chosen AB because we are assuming that angle B is given to us.
Step 2: Using a protactor we will construct dpi{100} fn_jvn angle ABX=115^{circ}
Step 3:  With B as centre and radius equal to the length given for BC, draw an arc intersecting BX at C.
Step 4: Join AC
Step 5: With A as centre and radius equal to the length given for AD, draw an arc
Step 6: With C as centre and radius equal to the length given for CD, draw an arc intersecting arc drawn in step 5 and mark the point of intersection as D.

Step 7: Join AD and CD.

This ABCD is the required quadrilateral.

Illustration:: Contruct a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 2.7 cm, BC = 3.5 cm, CD = 4 cm, AD = 6 cm and dpi{100} fn_jvn angle B=115^{circ}.

Solution:  Here, four sides and one angle are given. We first draw the rough sketch Thus, to draw the quadrilateral ABCD, we follow the following steps.

Steps of Construction:

Step I  Draw AB = 2.7 cm.

Step II  Construct angle ABX=115^{circ}

Step III  With B as centre and radius BC = 3.5, cut off BC = 3.5 cm along BX.

Step IV Join AC.

Step V  With A as centre and radius AD = 6 cm draw an arc.

Step VI With C as centre and radius CD = 4 cm draw an arc to cut the arc drawn in step V at D.

Step VII  Join CD and AD .

The quadrilateral ABCD so obtained is the required quadrilateral.
