Answer
No, we cannot construct a unique quadrilateral with only the measures of all four angles and the length of just one side.
In any quadrilateral, the sum of interior angles is always 360°. So even if all four angles are given, they only tell you the shape’s turning, not its exact size or proportions.
Knowing the length of only one side fixes the scale along that side, but the other sides can still vary.
Therefore, the given information is insufficient, and a unique quadrilateral cannot be constructed.
