What to Focus On

  • Construction means locating the vertices of the figure.
  • A rough sketch should always be drawn first.
  • A quadrilateral is generally fixed by five suitable measurements.

  • Four-sided construction can be done in different ways depending on the given measurements.
  • In case 1, arcs from A and C meet at D.
  • In case 2, the two consecutive angles guide the placement of D.

  • Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
  • Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
  • When one side and both diagonals are given, use the midpoint of the diagonals.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A quadrilateral can be constructed from fewer than five independent measurements.

In a quadrilateral with four sides and one angle given, any diagonal can be used first.

For a quadrilateral with three sides and two consecutive angles, the two angles can be placed at any two vertices.

Memory Tips

Constructing a quadrilateral means locating four vertices

A rough free-hand sketch should always be drawn first

Quadrilateral with four sides and one angle given is built by triangle ABC then triangle ADC

Quadrilateral with three sides and two consecutive angles given
