Steps:

  1. Draw AD = 4.8 cm.

  2. At D, construct angle EDA = 90°.

  3. Taking A as centre, draw an arc of radius 6.4 cm (= AC) which cuts ED at point C.

  4. Taking C as centre, draw an arc of radius 4.8 cm (= AD) and taking A as centre draw another arc of radius equal to DC. Let these two arcs intersect at point B.

  5. Join AB and CB.
