Constructing Quadrilaterals by Four Sides (2014)

Answer the following questions using the applet.[br]1. Can you make a quadrilateral of four sides being 2 cm, 3 cm, 3 cm and 9 cm? Why or why not?[br]2. If a quadrilateral has four equal sides, what are its possible shapes?[br]3. If a quadrilateral has two pairs of equal opposite sides, what are its possible shapes?[br]4. If a quadrilateral has two pairs of equal adjacent sides, what is its shape?[br]5. Make the trapezium of the four sides (from top to bottom) being: [br]  (a) 4 cm, 4 cm, 4 cm, 6 cm;  (b) 4 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm;[br]  (c) 4 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm;  (d) 3 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm.[br]  What is the characteristic of trapeziums?
