6. Construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = BC = 6 cm, AD = DC = 4.5 cm 
and ?B = 120°. 
Solution: 
The given details are AB = BC = 6 cm, AD = DC = 4.5 cm and ?B = 120°.

Here, AC is about 10.3cm in length which is greater than AD + CD = 4.5+4.5=9cm 
We know that sum of the two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side. 
AD + CD < AC 
? Construction is not possible.
