Question 5.

Explanation:

The measurements of quadrilateral ABCD of AB = 6.7, BC = 7.2, CD = 6.2 and DA = 4.9. We got the angle ABC = 55°.

Question 6.
Construct quadrilateral ABCD with diagonal AC = 5 cm, AB = CD = 4 cm, BC = 6 cm, and AD = 6 cm.
Explanation:

The measurements of the rectangular quadrilateral is AB = CD = 4cm , BC and AD = 6cm. The diagonal AC = 5cm. So this is a quadrilateral rectangular.

First we construct △ABC.
Use a ruler to draw the segment 6 cm long. Label its endpoints by B and C.

Because AB = 4 cm, use the ruler to set the compass to a radius of 4 cm. Then using B as center draw an arc of radius 4 cm above $$\overline{B C}$$.

Because AC = 5 cm, use the ruler to set the compass to a radius of 5 cm. Then using C as center draw an arc of radius 5 cm that intersects the first arc. Label the intersection as A.

Use the ruler to draw $$\overline{A B}$$ and $$\overline{A C}$$.

Then we construct △ACD.
Because AD = 6 cm, use the ruler to set the compass to a radius of 6 cm. Then using A as center draw an arc of radius 6cm above $$\overline{A C}$$.

Because CD = 4 cm, use the ruler to set the compass to a radius of 4 cm. Then using C as center draw an arc of radius 4 cm that intersects the first arc. Label the intersection as D.

Use the ruler to draw $$\overline{A D}$$ and $$\overline{C D}$$.

The quadrilateral ABCD is rectangle because the angles AB and CD are equal with the  =4cm and the angles BC and AD are equal with the = 6cm. So this is rectangular quadrilateral.

b) Draw $$\overline{B D}$$ to intersect $$\overline{A C}$$ at point E. Find the lengths of $$\overline{A E}$$, $$\overline{C E}$$, $$\overline{B E}$$, and $$\overline{D E}$$.
Draw $$\overline{B D}$$

We measure AE, CE, BE, DE:
AE = 2.5
CE = 2.5
BE = 4.4
DE = 4.4

c) Do the diagonals $$\overline{A C}$$ and $$\overline{B D}$$ bisect each other? Justify your answer.
The diagonals $$\overline{A C}$$ and $$\overline{B D}$$ bisect each other This is explained by the fact that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Question 7.
Construct a quadrilateral STUV by following Steps 1 to 5.
STEP1
Draw $$\overline{S T}$$ so that ST = 5 cm.
STEP 2
With T as the center, draw $$\overline{T U}$$ perpendicular to $$\overline{S T}$$ , with TU = 4 cm.
STEP 3
With U as the center, draw an arc of radius 5 centimeters.
STEP 4
With S as the center, draw an arc of radius 4 centimeters to intersect the arc drawn in Step 3. Label this point of intersection as V.
STEP 5
Complete the construction of quadrilateral STUV.
Use a ruler to draw $$\overline{S T}$$ so that is 5 cm long.

Using a protractor, draw ∠T with a measure of 90°.

Because TU = 4 cm, set the compass to a radius of 4 cm. Then using T as the center, draw an arc intersecting the ray drawn in previous step. Label this point of intersection as U.

With U as center, draw an arc of radius 5 cm.
With S as center, draw an arc of radius 4 cm to intersect the arc drawn in the previous step. Label this point of intersection as V.

Draw $$\overline{V U}$$ and $$\overline{V S}$$.

a) Find each of the angles in quadrilateral STUV.
We measure the angles of the quadrilateral:
m∠T = 90°
m∠U = 90°
m∠V = 90°
m∠S = 90°

As all angles are right angles, the quadrilateral is a rectangle.

c) Find the lengths of the diagonals. What do you notice?
We find the lengths of the diagonals:
SU ≈ 6.4
VT ≈ 6.4

The diagonals are congruent.

Question 8.
Construct a quadrilateral ABCD with all sides of length 3 centimeters and diagonal BD = 5.2 cm.
Explanation:

The quadrilateral ABCD is a square because the sides of the square AB, BC, CD  and DA are equal with 3 cm and the diagonal BD=5.2cm.

b) Find the measure of each of the angles formed by the intersection of the diagonals.
The measuring of each of the angles formed by the intersection of the diagonals is acute angle 60°.

Question 9.
Construct quadrilateral ABCD with diagonal AC = 6 cm, AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, CD = 4.5 cm, and AD = 9 cm. What type of quadrilateral does ABCD seem to be? Explain your reasoning.
Explanation:

The quadrilateral ABCD is trapezoid. AB=3cm ,BC=4cm,CD=4.5cm and DA=9cm.
The diagonal AC = 6cm.So this is trapezoid.

Question 10.

Use a ruler to draw $$\overline{A B}$$ so that is 6.6 cm long.

Using a protractor, draw ∠B with a measure of 90° and ∠A with a measure of 90°.

Because AD = BC = 3.4 cm, set the compass to a radius of 3.4 cm. Then using A and B as centers, draw arcs intersecting the rays drawn in previous step. Label this points of intersection as D and C.

Because AE = EC = 4 cm, set the compass to a radius of 4 cm. Then using C and D as centers, draw arcs above $$\overline{C D}$$. Label the point of intersection of the two arcs as E.

Draw $$\overline{E D}$$ and $$\overline{E C}$$.

Question 11.

Explanation:

d) Compare the lengths of $$\overline{W X}$$ and $$\overline{Y Z}$$ . Compare the lengths of $$\overline{X Y}$$ and $$\overline{W Z}$$. What do you notice?
Measure WX, YZ, XY, WZ:
WX ≈ 3.6 cm
YZ ≈ 3.6 cm
XY ≈ 4.4 cm
WZ ≈ 4.4 cm
We notice that we have:
WX = YZ
XY = WZ

Explanation:

let ABCD be a rhombus whose diagonal AC and BD are intersecting at point O. We know that the diagram of parallelogram bisect at each other.
OA=OC and OB=OD
angle COB= angle COD
angle COB+ angle COD= 180°
angle COB=angle COD= 90°.

AB = $$\sqrt{64}$$ = 8
Sketch the rectangle:

Use a ruler to draw $$\overline{A B}$$ so that is 7 cm long.

Using a protractor, draw ∠B with a measure of 90°.
