Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Draw a line through point D that is parallel to line AQ.

    To do this, you can use a set square or a compass and ruler. Place one edge of a set square along AQ, then slide it along a ruler until the other edge passes through D. Draw a line along this edge through D. This line will contain the side DC.

  2. Locate point C on the line drawn in Step 1.

    Measure 4 cm from point D along the parallel line. Mark this point as C. (Assume C is to the right of D, consistent with the general orientation of the figure).

  3. Draw a line segment from C perpendicular to DC.

    Since angle DCB = 90°, the line segment CB must be perpendicular to DC. As DC is parallel to AQ, CB will also be perpendicular to AQ. Draw a line from C that is perpendicular to the line containing DC and extends towards AQ.

  4. Locate point B on line AQ.

    The point where the perpendicular line from C intersects line AQ is point B.

  5. Complete the trapezium.

    Connect points A to B, B to C, C to D, and D to A to form the trapezium ABCD.
