construct a kite which has unequal sides AB=4 cm and BC=5.7cm and diagonals AC=6.8. measure the diagonal BA Share with your friends Share 1 Vijay Kumar Gupta answered this Note that a Kite is a flat shape with straight sides. It has 2 pairs of equal adjacent sides. Each pair is made up of adjacent sides (they meet) that are equal in length. The angles are also equal where the two pairs meet.This gives, AB=AD=4 cm and BC=CD=5.7 cmFollow the following steps of construction to draw the required kite.1) Draw the diagonal AC with measure 6.8 cm.2) To locate the point D, with A as center and taking radius as 4 cm, draw an arc above the line AC.Again with C as center and radius equal to 5.7 cm, draw another arc intersectingthe previous arc at point D.3) To locate the point B, with A as center and taking radius as 4 cm, draw an arc below the line AC.Again with C as center and radius equal to 5.7 cm, draw another arc intersectingthe previous arc at point B.4) Join A and D, C and D, A and B, C and B to get the required figure.Then ABCD represents the required kite.Now the measure of BD can be easily measured.The figure is shown below: 0 View Full Answer
