In quadrilateral ABCD,
AB = 9m, BC = 12m, CD = 5m and
DA = 8m, ∠C = 90°
Join BD,
Now in right ∆BCD,
BD² = BC²+ CD² = (12)² + (5)²

Steps of construction :
(i) Draw a line segment AB.
(ii) With the help of ruler and compasses, draw the bisector of AB which bisects AB at C.
(iii) Similarly, in the same way draw the bisector of AC at D.
We see that AC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (AB).

Question 7.
Draw a line segment AB and by ruler and compasses, obtain a line segment of length \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) (AB).
Solution:
Steps of construction :
(i) Draw a line segment AB.
(ii) Draw a ray AX making an acute angle with A3 and equal 4 parts at A₁, A₂, A₃ and A₄.
(iii) JoinA₄B.
(iv) From A3, draw a line parallel to A₄B which meets AB at C.
C is the required point and AC = \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) (AB).
