The correct Answer is:
To construct the trapezium PQRS with the given conditions, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Construction: 1. **Draw the Base PQ:** - Draw a line segment PQ measuring 6.5 cm. - Label the endpoints as P and Q. **Hint:** Use a ruler to measure and draw the line accurately. 2. **Construct Angle Q:** - At point Q, use a protractor to construct an angle of 60 degrees. - Draw a ray QR making a 60-degree angle with line PQ. **Hint:** Ensure the protractor is aligned correctly with line PQ to measure the angle accurately. 3. **Mark Point R:** - From point Q, measure 4.5 cm along the ray QR and mark this point as R. **Hint:** Use a compass or ruler to ensure the distance is exactly 4.5 cm. 4. **Construct Angle R:** - Now, at point R, we need to construct an angle of 120 degrees (since angle Q + angle R = 180 degrees). - Use the protractor to measure 120 degrees from line QR and draw a ray RS. **Hint:** Remember that 120 degrees is measured counter-clockwise from the line QR. 5. **Mark Point S:** - From point R, measure 6 cm along the ray RS and mark this point as S. **Hint:** Again, ensure that the distance is measured accurately. 6. **Complete the Trapezium:** - Finally, connect points P and S with a straight line to complete the trapezium PQRS. **Hint:** Use a ruler to draw the line PS straight and ensure it connects properly with points P and S. ### Final Check: - Ensure that PQ is parallel to SR. - Verify the lengths: PQ = 6.5 cm, QR = 4.5 cm, PS = 6 cm, and angle Q = 60 degrees.
