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
(i) A rough sketch of the quadrilateral LIFT can be drawn as follows.
(1) Δ ITL can be constructed by using the given measurements as follows.
(2) Vertex F is 4.5 cm away from vertex L and 3 cm away from vertex I. ∴, while taking L and I as centres, draw arcs of 4.5 cm radius and 3 cm radius respectively, which will be intersecting each other at point F.
(3) Join F to T and F to I.
(ii) The rough sketch of the quadrilateral GOLD can be drawn as follows.
(1) Δ GDL can be constructed by using the given measurements as follows.
(2) Vertex O is 10 cm away from vertex D and 7.5 cm away from vertex L. Therefore, while taking D and L as centres, draw arcs of 10 cm radius and 7.5 cm radius respectively. These will intersect each other at point O.
(3) Join O to G and L.
(iii) We know that the diagonals of a rhombus always bisect each other at 90^{\circ}.
Let us assume that these are intersecting each other at point O in this rhombus.
Hence, EO = OD = 3.25 cm
The rough sketch of the rhombus BEND can be drawn as follows.
(1) Draw a line segment BN of 5.6 cm and also draw its perpendicular bisector. Let it intersect the line segment BN at point O.
(2) Taking O as centre, draw arcs of 3.25 cm radius to intersect the perpendicular
bisector at point D and E.
(3) Join points D and E to points B and N.
