Math Problem Statement

Construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which ab = 6 CM BC equals to 5 cm angle A equal to 55 degree angle C = 110 degree and Angle D = 90 degree

Solution

To construct the quadrilateral ABCD with the given measurements, follow these steps:

  1. Draw Line Segment AB:

    • Draw a line segment ABAB of length 6 cm.
  2. Construct Angle A=55\angle A = 55^\circ:

    • At point AA, use a protractor to construct an angle of 5555^\circ.
    • Draw a ray AXAX from point AA along this angle.
  3. Draw Line Segment BC:

    • From point BB, draw an arc with a radius of 5 cm to intersect the ray AXAX. Label the intersection point as CC.
  4. Construct Angle C=110\angle C = 110^\circ:

    • At point CC, use a protractor to construct an angle of 110110^\circ.
    • Draw a ray CYCY from point CC along this angle.
  5. Construct Angle D=90\angle D = 90^\circ:

    • At point DD, use a protractor to construct a right angle (9090^\circ).
    • Draw a perpendicular line to CDCD that intersects CYCY. Label this intersection point as DD.
  6. Complete the Quadrilateral:

    • Connect points DD and AA with a straight line.

Summary of the Construction Steps:

  1. Draw AB=6AB = 6 cm.
  2. Construct A=55\angle A = 55^\circ and draw ray AXAX.
  3. Draw arc from BB with radius 5 cm to intersect AXAX at CC.
  4. Construct C=110\angle C = 110^\circ and draw ray CYCY.
  5. Construct D=90\angle D = 90^\circ at point DD and draw perpendicular to CDCD.
  6. Connect points DD and AA to complete the quadrilateral.

Additional Details:

  • Verify that all sides and angles match the given measurements.
  • Check that the sum of the angles A+B+C+D=360\angle A + \angle B + \angle C + \angle D = 360^\circ.

Tip:

Always double-check your measurements and angle constructions to ensure accuracy in geometric constructions.
