Question:
Construct a quadrilateral PQRS in which PQ = 5 cm, QR = 6.5 cm, ∠P = ∠R = 100° and ∠S = 75°.
Solution:
Steps of construction:
Step 1: Draw PQ=
Step 2: $\angle P+\angle Q+\angle R+\angle S=360^{\circ}$
$100^{\circ}+\angle Q+100^{\circ}+75^{\circ}=360^{\circ}$
$275^{\circ}+\angle Q=360^{\circ}$
$\angle Q=360^{\circ}-275^{\circ}$
$\angle Q=85^{\circ}$
Step 3: Make $\angle P=100^{\circ}$ and $\angle Q=85^{\circ}$
Step 3: With $Q$ as the centre, draw an $\operatorname{arc}$ of $6.5 \mathrm{~cm}$.
Step 4: Make $\angle R=100^{\circ}$
Step 6: Join $R$ and $S$.
Step 7: Measure $\angle S=75^{\circ}$
Then, $P Q R S$ is the required quadrilateral.
