Solution
Since, opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
∴ PO = RU = 5.5 cm, OU = RP = 7.2 cm
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw PO = 5.5 cm.
Step II: Construct ∠POX = 70°.
Step III: With O as centre and radius OU = 7.2 cm, draw an arc.
Step IV: WIth U as centre and radius UR = 5.5 cm, draw an arc.
Step V: With P as centre and radius PR = 7.2 cm, draw an arc to cut the arc drawn in Step IV.
Step VI: Join PR and UR.
Hence, POUR is the required parallelogram.
