Given, HEAR is a parallelogram.
HE = 5 cm
EA = 6 cm
∠R = 85°

We know, Diagonally opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

Therefore, ∠E = ∠R = 85°

And, Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel to each other.

Therefore, AR = HE = 5 cm
                  RH = EA = 6 cm

Steps of construction:

Step 1. Draw a line segment HE = 5 cm. Construct an angle of 85° at E. As EA = 6 cm, draw an arc with O as center and radius = 6 cm. We get to point A.

Step 2. With A as centre, draw an arc of radius = AR = HE = 5 cm.

Step 3. With H as centre , draw an arc of radius = HR = EA = 6 cm. The intersection of this arc with the previous arc is R.

Step 4. Join R to H and R to A. 

HEAR is the required parallelogram.

Alternatively,

Steps of construction

Step 1. Draw a line segment HE = 5 cm. Construct an angle of 85° at E. As EA = 6 cm, draw an arc with O as center and radius = 6 cm. We get to point A.

Step 2. Construct an angle of (180°-85° = 95°) at A.    (Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary)

Step 3. Construct an angle of (180°-85° = 95°) at H. This ray intersects the previous one at R. 

HEAR is the required parallelogram.
