Mathematics Theory (a) Using ruler and a pair of compasses only, construct : (i) a trapezium WXYZ…

(a) Using ruler and a pair of compasses only, construct : (i) a trapezium WXYZ such that |WX| = 10.2 cm, |XY| = 5.6 cm, |YZ| = 5.8 cm, < WXY = 60° and WX is parallel to YZ  (ii) a perpendicular from Z to meet (overline{WX}) at N.

(b) Measure : (i) |WZ| ; (ii) |ZN| .

Explanation

(a) 

(b) From the figure above, 

(i) |WZ| = 5.25 cm ; (ii) |ZN| = 4.86 cm.
