Question 1.

Construct quadrilaterals with the measurements given below:

Quadrilateral HELP with HE = 6cm, EL = 4.5 cm, ∠H=60o, ∠E =105o and ∠P= 120o.


Answer:

GIVEN : In Quadrilateral HELP,


HE = 6cm


EL = 4.5 cm


∠H=60o


∠E =105o


∠P= 120o


PROCEDURE :


Step 1: draw a rough sketch of the Quadrilateral HELP and mark the given measurements.


As we can see that ∠P is not between the given 2 sides , so we now find the ∠L that is between HE and EL using the property of sum of all angles of a quadrilateral ie. ∠L = 360° - (∠H + ∠E + ∠P) = 360° - (60° + 105° + 120°) = 75°.


∴ ∠L = 75°.



Step 2: construct ΔHEL using SAS property of construction model with HE = 6cm , ∠E = 105o and EL = 4.5 cm.



Step 3 : Construct ∠H = 60° and draw HY .


how to draw 60° angle ?


an arc is drawn from H . let it intersect HE at H’ . with center H’ and with same radius draw 2 arcs to cut at 2 points A,B which gives 60° and 120° respectively.


So , draw a line from H which passes through A to get the required angle. )



Step 4 : construct ∠L = 75o and draw LZ to meet HY at P.


HELP is the required quadrilateral.




Question 2.

Construct quadrilaterals with the measurements given below:

Parallelogram GRAM with GR = AM = 5 cm, RA = MG = 6.2 cm and ∠R = 85o.


Answer:

GIVEN : In Parallelogram GRAM,


GR = AM = 5 cm


RA = MG = 6.2 cm


∠R = 85o


PROCEDURE :


Step 1 : draw a rough sketch of the parallelogram GRAM and mark the given measurements.


Since the given measurements are not sufficient for construction , we shall find the required measurements using the properties of the parallelogram.


As opposite angles of parallelogram are equal so , ∠R = ∠M = 85o and as the consecutive angles are supplementary so , ∠G = 180° - 85° = 95°.


Thus ∠G = ∠A = 95°.



Step 2 : construct ΔGRA using SAS property of construction model with GR = 5cm , ∠R = 85o and RA = 6.2 cm.



Step 3 : construct ∠G = 95° and draw GY || RA.



Step 4 : construct ∠A = 95° and draw AN to meet GY at M.


GRAM is the required quadrilateral (ie. Parallelogram).

Rectangle FLAG with sides FL = 6cm and LA = 4.2 cm.


Answer:

GIVEN : In Rectangle FLAG,

LA = 4.2 cm


PROCEDURE :


Step 1 : draw a rough sketch of the Rectangle FLAG and mark the given measurements.


Since the given measurements are not sufficient for construction , we shall find the required measurements using the properties of the RECTANGLE.



As opposite sides of rectangle are equal so, FL = AG = 6cm and LA = GF = 4.2 cm and ∠F = ∠L = ∠A = ∠G = 90°.


Step 2 : construct ΔFLA using SAS property of construction model with FL = 6cm , ∠L = 90o and LA = 4.2 cm.



Step 3 : construct ∠F = 90° and draw FY || LA.



Step 4 : construct ∠A = 90° and draw AN to meet FY at G.
