Complete the construction of parallelogram — task. Maths CBSE Live product, Class 8 (2026-27).

An incomplete construction of a parallelogram \(ABCD\) is shown below, where side \(AB = 4\text{ cm}\), side \(AD = 5\text{ cm}\), and \(\angle A = 30^\circ\)

To find the exact location of the missing vertex \(C\) using a ruler and a compass, what should be the final steps?

Choose the correct step:

Draw a \(90^\circ\) perpendicular line from point \(B\) and mark point \(C\) at \(5\text{ cm}\).
Draw an arc of radius \(4\text{ cm}\) from point \(D\) and an arc of radius \(5\text{ cm}\) from point \(B\), marking their intersection as \(C\).
Draw a line parallel to \(AB\) passing through \(D\), and a line parallel to \(AD\) passing through \(B\). Mark their intersection point as \(C\).
Extend line \(AB\) by another \(4\text{ cm}\) to find point \(C\).
