Solution
\[\text { We know that the sum of all the angles in a quadrilateral is 360 } . \]
\[\text { i . e} . , \angle A + \angle B + \angle C + \angle D = 360^\circ\]
\[ \Rightarrow \angle D = 115^\circ\]
Steps of Construction:
Step I: Draw BC = 5 . 7 cm .
\[\text { Step II: Construct } \angle XBC = 105^\circ\text { at B and } \angle BCY = 105^\circ at C . \]
Step III : With C as the centre and radius 6 . 8 cm, cut off CD = 6 . 8 cm .
\[\text { Step IV: At D, draw } \angle CDZ = 115^\circ \text { such that it meets BY at A } . \]
The quadrilateral so obtained is the required quadrilateral .
