The correct Answer is:
To construct a kite ABCD with the given dimensions AB = 4 cm, AD = 6 cm, and AC = 6 cm, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Draw the Diagonal AC**: - Use a ruler to draw a horizontal line segment AC measuring 6 cm. Label the endpoints as A and C. - **Hint**: Ensure that you measure accurately using the ruler for the length of AC. 2. **Construct Point B**: - Place the compass point at A and set the compass width to 4 cm (the length of AB). - Draw an arc above the line AC. This arc represents all possible locations for point B. - **Hint**: Make sure the compass is not too loose, so the arc remains a perfect circle. 3. **Construct Point D**: - Now, place the compass point at C and set the compass width to 6 cm (the length of AC). - Draw another arc above the line AC. This arc represents all possible locations for point D. - **Hint**: Keep the compass point steady while drawing the arc to ensure accuracy. 4. **Locate Points B and D**: - The intersection of the two arcs you drew from A and C will give you the points B and D. Label these intersection points as B and D. - **Hint**: If the arcs intersect at two points, choose one point for B and the other for D. 5. **Connect the Points**: - Use a ruler to connect points A to B, B to C, C to D, and D to A. - **Hint**: Ensure that the lines are straight and connect the points accurately. 6. **Verify the Dimensions**: - Measure the lengths AB, AD, and AC to confirm they are 4 cm, 6 cm, and 6 cm respectively. - **Hint**: Use the ruler to double-check each length to ensure the kite is constructed correctly. ### Final Result: You should now have a kite ABCD with the specified dimensions. The kite will have two pairs of equal adjacent sides, confirming its properties.
