To draw a parallelogram ABCD in which BC = 5 cm, AB = 3 cm, and angle ABC = 60 degree, we need the following steps:
1. Draw a line segment AB = 3 cm
2. At B, construct angle ABM = 60 degree
3. From Bm, cut a line segment BC = 5 cm
4. Now, from point A, draw AN || BC
5. From the point C, draw CD || BA, meeting AN at D
So, ABCD is the required parallelogram.
Now, from diagonal BD, divide the parallelogram ABCD into two triangles BCD and ABD

To construct the triangle BD1 C1 similar to triangle BDC with scale factor 4 : 3, we do the following steps:
1. Below BD, make an acute angle DBX
2. Along BX, make four points B1 , B2 ,B3 , B4 such that BB1 , B1 B2 , B2 B3 , B3 B4
3. Join B3 D
4. From B4 , draw B3 D1 || B3 D meeting BD produced at D1
5. From D1 , draw C1 D1 || CD meeting BD produced at C1
Thus B D1 C1 is the required triangle whose sides are 4/3 times the corresponding side of triangle BDC.
