Answer

Steps:

  1. Draw AC = 5.5 cm.

  2. Draw the perpendicular bisector of AC to locate the mid-point of AC. Let the perpendicular bisector intersect AC at point O. Therefore, O is the mid-point of AC.

  3. Through O, construct a line EOF so that angle EOC = 60°.

  4. From OE cut OB equal to OC (i.e., 2.7 cm) and from OF cut OD equal to OA (i.e., 2.7 cm).

  5. Join AB, BC, CD and DA.
