Math Problem Statement

  1. 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 ABCDABCD, where:

  • ABDCAB \parallel DC
  • AB=7cmAB = 7 \, \text{cm}
  • BC=5cmBC = 5 \, \text{cm}
  • AD=6.5cmAD = 6.5 \, \text{cm}
  • B=60\angle B = 60^\circ

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Draw line segment AB:

  • Start by drawing a horizontal line ABAB of length 7cm7 \, \text{cm}. Label the endpoints as AA and BB.

2. Construct B=60\angle B = 60^\circ:

  • From point BB, draw a line at a 6060^\circ angle to the line ABAB.
  • The length of this line segment should be 5cm5 \, \text{cm}, as given by BCBC.

3. Mark point C:

  • The point where this line intersects will be labeled as point CC. So, BC=5cmBC = 5 \, \text{cm}.

4. Draw AD:

  • From point AA, draw a line of length 6.5cm6.5 \, \text{cm} to form the line segment ADAD.

5. Draw DC parallel to AB:

  • Now, using the fact that ABDCAB \parallel DC, you will need to draw line segment DCDC parallel to ABAB, and make sure that the trapezium has its sides properly connected.

This procedure will give you the trapezium ABCDABCD.
