The correct Answer is:
To construct a parallelogram with adjacent sides of lengths 4 cm and 6 cm, and an angle of 60 degrees between them, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Draw Line Segment AB**: - Start by drawing a horizontal line segment AB that measures 4 cm. - Use a ruler to ensure the length is accurate. **Hint**: Make sure to label the endpoints clearly as A and B. 2. **Construct Angle at Point B**: - At point B, use a protractor to measure an angle of 60 degrees from line AB. - Mark this angle with a light pencil line extending from point B. **Hint**: Ensure that the protractor is aligned correctly with line AB to get an accurate angle. 3. **Draw Line Segment BC**: - From point B, draw a line along the 60-degree angle you just marked. - Measure 6 cm along this line and mark the endpoint as C. **Hint**: Use the ruler to measure exactly 6 cm from point B to point C. 4. **Draw Line Segment AC**: - Now, draw a line segment from point A to point C. This line will not be parallel to AB but will help in finding the next point. **Hint**: This line will help you visualize where point D will be located. 5. **Construct Angle at Point A**: - At point A, you need to construct an angle of 120 degrees (since the angles in a parallelogram are supplementary). - Use the protractor to measure 120 degrees from line AC and mark this angle. **Hint**: Remember that 120 degrees is the same as 180 degrees - 60 degrees. 6. **Draw Line Segment AD**: - From point A, draw a line along the 120-degree angle you just marked. - Measure 6 cm along this line and mark the endpoint as D. **Hint**: Ensure that the line AD is equal in length to BC, which is 6 cm. 7. **Complete the Parallelogram**: - Finally, connect points C and D with a straight line to complete the parallelogram ABCD. **Hint**: Ensure that the opposite sides AB and CD are equal, and AD and BC are equal in length. ### Final Check: - Measure all sides to confirm that AB = CD = 4 cm and BC = AD = 6 cm. - Check the angles to ensure that angle ABC = 60 degrees and angle DAB = 120 degrees.
