Step-by-step solution
5 stepsDraw 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.
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).
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.
Locate point B on line AQ.
The point where the perpendicular line from C intersects line AQ is point B.
Complete the trapezium.
Connect points A to B, B to C, C to D, and D to A to form the trapezium ABCD.
