Question
Use ruler and compasses for the following question taking a scale of 10 m = 1 cm. A park in a city is bounded by straight fences AB, BC, CD and DA. Given that AB = 50 m, BC = 63 m, ∠ABC = 75°. D is a point equidistant from the fences AB and BC. If ∠BAD = 90°, construct the outline of the park ABCD. Also locate a point P on the line BD for the flag post which is equidistant from the corners of the park A and B.
