NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 4 Practical Geometry Ex 4.2

Ex 4.2 Class 8 Maths Question 1.
Construct the following quadrilaterals:
(i) Quadrilateral LIFT
LI = 4 cm
IF = 3 cm
TL = 2.5 cm
LF = 4.5 cm
IT = 4 cm

(ii) Quadrilateral GOLD
OL = 7.5 cm
GL = 6 cm
GD = 6 cm
LD = 5 cm
OD = 10 cm

(iii) Rhombus BEND
BN – 5.6 cm
DE = 6.5 cm
Solution.
(i) Let us draw a rough sketch of the required quadrilateral and write down the dimensions. Clearly, the two easily constructible triangles are UT and LIF.
Steps of Construction :

• Draw LI = 4 cm.
• With L as centre and radius 2.5 cm, draw an arc.
• With I as centre and radius 4 cm draw another arc to cut the previous arc at T.
• Join TL and 77.
• With L as centre and radius 4.5 cm, draw an arc.
• With I as centre and radius 3 cm, draw another arc to cut the previously drawn arc at F.
• Join FI, FL and TF.
  Then, LIFT is the required quadrilateral.

(ii) Let us draw a rough sketch of the required quadrilateral and write down its dimensions. Clearly, the two easily constructible triangles are LOD and LGD.
Steps of Construction :

• Draw LD = 5 cm.
• With L as centre and radius 7.5 cm, draw an arc.
• With D as centre and radius 10 cm, draw another arc to cut the previous arc at O.
• Join OL and OD.
• With L as centre and radius 6 cm, draw an arc.
• With D as centre and radius 6 cm, draw an arc to cut the previously drawn arc at B.
• Join GD, GL and OG.
  Then, GOLD is the required quadrilateral.

(iii) We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles. So, we proceed according to the following steps.
Steps of Construction :

• Draw BN = 5.6 cm.
• Draw the right bisector XY of BN, meeting BN at O.
• From O set off OE = (6.5) cm = 3.25 cm along OY and OD = 3.25 cm along OX.
• Join BE, EN, ND and DB.
  Then, BEND is the required rhombus.
