NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Exercise 4.2
(i)Given: LI = 4 cm, IF = 3 cm, TL = 2.5 cm, LF = 4.5 cm, IT = 4 cm
To construct: A quadrilateral LIFT
Steps of construction:
(a) Draw a line segment LI = 4 cm.
(b) Taking radius 4.5 cm, draw an arc taking L as centre.
(c) Draw an arc of 3 cm taking I as centre which intersects the first arc at F.
(d) Join FI and FL.
(e) Draw another arc of radius 2.5 cm taking L as centre and 4 cm taking I as centre which intersect at T.
(f) Join TF, Tl and TI.
It is the required quadrilateral LIFT.
