Example:
Construct a quadrilateral \(TRUE\) with the following measurements.
 
\(TR =\) \(3.5 cm\), \(RU = 3 cm\), \(UE = 4 cm\), \(∠R = 75°\), \(∠U = 120°\).
 
Step 1:  Draw side \(RU = 3 cm\) and angle \(120 ° \) at point \(U\). As the vertex \(E\) is \(4 cm\) away from \(U\), cut the line segment \(UE\) of \(4 cm\) out from this ray.

Step 2: Draw the angle \(75 ° \) at the point \(R\). As the vertex \(T\) is \(3.5 cm\) away from the vertex \(R\), cut the line segment \(RT\) away from the \(3.5 cm\) of this ray.

Step 3: Join \(T\) to \(E\).

Thus, the \(TRUE\) is the required quadrilateral.
