Math Problem Statement
- Draw a trapezium ABCD in which AB∥DC, AB=7 cm, BC=5 cm, AD=6.5 cm and B=∠60° ?
Solution
To draw the trapezium , where:
Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Draw line segment AB:
- Start by drawing a horizontal line of length . Label the endpoints as and .
2. Construct :
- From point , draw a line at a angle to the line .
- The length of this line segment should be , as given by .
3. Mark point C:
- The point where this line intersects will be labeled as point . So, .
4. Draw AD:
- From point , draw a line of length to form the line segment .
5. Draw DC parallel to AB:
- Now, using the fact that , you will need to draw line segment parallel to , and make sure that the trapezium has its sides properly connected.
This procedure will give you the trapezium .
