Steps
(i) Draw a line segment AB of any length.
Let it will be 5 cm.
(ii) Draw any angle less than 90° at point A. Let will be 70°.
(iii) Mark the point D using ruler of length 5 cm and ray AX.
(iv) Now, draw two circles of radius 5 cm at point D and B and they will intersect at point C.
(v) Join BC and DC.
ABCD is required 4-sided figure.
