Step 1:Draw PQ= acm.
Step 2: Construct angle measuring x° at point Q.
Step 3: with Q as centre and radius equal to b cm cut an arc to meet at R.
Step 4: Construct an angle measuring y° at point R.
Step 5: Construct an angle measuring z° at P.
Step 6: The point of intersection of both thelines is the required point. Let this point beS.
Thus, fourth point is plotted using lines made by any two angles.

2 triangles are needed to construct a quadrilateral. The triangles will have thediagonal as common side.
Question 23. If a quadrilateral with 4 sides and a diagonal is given, which of the following conditions is used in the construction?
  1.    SSS
  2.    SAS
  3.    ASA
  4.    AAS
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> SSS
:
A
A quadrilateral is made up of two triangles. Diagonal is the common side for both the triangles. If all the four sides and a diagonal is known, then we can construct a quadrilateral by constructing two triangles. The two triangles are constructed using SSS property.

How Many Quadrilaterals Can I Construct With The Following D...
From above diagram, it can be observed that side PQ can be constructed and angles P and Q can be drawn. But it is not possible to fix points R and S. Hence, infinite quadrilaterals can be drawn fixing points P and Q wherever required according to angles R and S.
Question 26. I construct quadrilateral with 3 sides and 2 included angles being 75 and 105 respectively and no sides are  equal.  What is the type of quadrilateral I am constructing?
  1.    Parallelogram
  2.    Trapezium
  3.    Square
  4.    Rhombus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Trapezium
:
B
The given is 3 sides and 2 included angles
The angles are adjacent angles
Also their sum is75+105=180
Given angles are supplementary.
Then the remaining two angles are alsosupplementary. [ Sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 3600]
Hence, the quadrilateral is a trapezium as in a trapeziumadjacent angles are supplementary angles and since its given no sides are equal , it cannot be a parallelogram( opposite sides are equal) and square, rhombus( all sides are equal)

Suppose, we need to construct a triangle of whose two given sides are 'a' cm and 'b' cm and three given angles are x, y and z.


During The Construction Of A Quadrilateral For Which 2 Sides... 
Step 1: Draw PQ = a cm.
Step 2: Construct angle measuring x° at point Q.
Step 3: with Q as centre and radius equal to b cm cut an arc to meet at R.
Step 4: Construct an angle measuring y° at point R.
Step 5: Construct an angle measuring z° at P.
Step 6: The point of intersection of both the lines is the required point. Let this point be S. 
Thus, fourth point is plotted using lines made by any two angles.
