The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Construction of Parallelogram ABCD 1. **Draw Line Segment AB**: - Using a ruler, draw a line segment AB of length 6 cm. **Hint**: Ensure that you measure accurately using the ruler for precision. 2. **Construct Angle DAB**: - At point A, use a protractor to measure and draw an angle of 60° with line AB. Label the ray as AD. **Hint**: Remember to mark the angle clearly to avoid confusion later. 3. **Measure Length AD**: - From point A along ray AD, measure and mark a point D such that AD = 3 cm. **Hint**: Use the ruler to measure 3 cm accurately from point A along the ray AD. 4. **Draw Arc from Point D**: - With the compass, set the width to 6 cm (the length of AB) and place the compass point on D. Draw an arc above the line. **Hint**: Make sure the arc is drawn clearly so that it can intersect with the next arc. 5. **Draw Arc from Point B**: - Now, set the compass width to 3 cm (the length of AD) and place the compass point on B. Draw an arc that intersects the previous arc. **Hint**: Ensure you draw the arc wide enough to see where it intersects the first arc. 6. **Label the Intersection Point as C**: - Mark the point where the two arcs intersect as point C. **Hint**: Use a pencil to mark the intersection clearly, as this point is crucial for the next steps. 7. **Draw Line Segments BC and CD**: - Use the ruler to draw line segments BC and CD to complete the parallelogram ABCD. **Hint**: Ensure that lines are straight and connect the points accurately. 8. **Bisect Angle DAB**: - To bisect angle DAB, place the compass point at A and draw an arc that intersects both rays AD and AB. Label the intersection points as E and F. **Hint**: Make sure the arc is not too small; it should clearly intersect both lines. 9. **Draw the Bisector**: - Using the ruler, draw a line from A through the intersection point of the arcs drawn from points E and F. Extend this line until it intersects line DC at point P. **Hint**: Ensure that the line is straight and extends far enough to intersect line DC. 10. **Measure Angle APB**: - Use a protractor to measure the angle APB. **Hint**: Align the protractor accurately to ensure a correct measurement. ### Final Note: After completing these steps, you will have constructed the required parallelogram ABCD and the angle bisector of angle DAB, along with the measurement of angle APB.
