Solution
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw AB = 5 . 5 cm .
Step II: With A as the centre and radius 7 . 1 cm, draw an arc .
Step III : With B as the centre and radius 2 . 5 cm, draw an arc to intersect the arc drawn in Step II at C .
Step IV: With B as the centre and radius 8 cm, draw an arc .
Step V : With A as the centre and radius 5 cm, draw an arc to intersect the arc drawn in Step IV at D .
Step VI: Join DA, DB, BC, AC and CD to obtained the required quadrilateral .
