The correct Answer is:
To construct the quadrilateral PLAN with the given dimensions and angles, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate Angle L**: - Given angles: ∠P = 90°, ∠A = 110°, ∠N = 85°. - Use the formula for the sum of angles in a quadrilateral: \[ \text{Sum of angles} = 360° \] - Calculate ∠L: \[ \angle L = 360° - (90° + 110° + 85°) = 360° - 285° = 75° \] 2. **Draw Line Segment PL**: - Using a ruler, draw a line segment PL = 4 cm. 3. **Construct Angle P (90°)**: - At point P, use a protractor to construct a right angle (90°). Draw a line from P upwards; label this point as point A. 4. **Mark Point A**: - From point P, measure 6.5 cm along the line you just drew (the vertical line). Mark this point as A. 5. **Construct Angle A (110°)**: - At point A, use a protractor to measure and draw an angle of 110° from the line PA. This will create a new line extending from point A. Label the intersection of this line with the horizontal line as point N. 6. **Construct Angle N (85°)**: - At point N, use a protractor to measure and draw an angle of 85° from the line AN. Extend this line until it intersects the line PL. Mark this intersection as point L. 7. **Complete the Quadrilateral**: - Connect points L and N to complete the quadrilateral PLAN. ### Final Check: - Ensure that the lengths PL = 4 cm, LA = 6.5 cm, and the angles ∠P = 90°, ∠A = 110°, ∠N = 85°, and ∠L = 75° are accurately represented.
