Topic Name : Constructing A Quadrilateral
Sub Topic Name : When Three Sides And Two Included Angles Are Given
Introduction

The requirements to draw a quadrilateral.

Pre-Requisites:

Basic knowledge about Quadrilaterals

Activity:

A quadrilateral can be constructed when we know the measures of three sides and two included angles.

Real Life Question:

Why a four road junction is called square?

Key Words / FlashCards
Key Words Definitions (pref. in our own words)
Quadrilateral A simple closed curve with four vertices and four sides
Learning aids / Gadgets
Gadgets How it can be used
Rubber bands, marking pins, drawing board, protractor Mark a point with a pin. Depending on the measurement of sides, make a string using the rubber bands and mark the point where the string ends. Use protractor to measure the included angle and construct the quadrilateral
Real life uses :

Racks, windows, walls, tiles, boards, table surfaces, cubes, dice, books, pizza boxes, geometry boxes, monitors, frames

Examples Explainations
Rubik’s cube All the surfaces of a rubik’s cube have perfectly equal sides and equal angles. It forms a square
Paper A paper has parallel equal sides and is equiangular. It is in the form of a rectangle.
What you learn in Theory:

An Intro into the construction of a quadrilateral when three sides and two diagonal are given.

What you learn in Practice:

Four measurements are necessary to make a quadrilateral. But to uniquely define the quadrilateral into its different forms, we need a fifth measurement. A known side is used as a base and the adjacent side is drawn with the respective angle. The other adjacent side is also drawn using the respective angle and the length is marked. The points marked on the two adjacent sides are joined to form the quadrilateral.
