    20. Anjali placed a light bulb at a point O on the ceiling and directly below it placed a table. He cuts a
    polygon, say a quadrilateral PQRS, from a plane cardboard and place this cardboard parallel to the ground
    between the lighted bulb and the table. Then a shadow of PQRS is cast on the table as P′Q′R′S′.
    Quadrilateral P′Q′R′S′ is an enlargement of the quadrilateral PQRS with scale factor 1 : 3. Given that PQ
    = 2.5 cm, QR = 3.5 cm. RS = 3.4 cm and PS = 3.1 cm; ∠P = 115°, ∠Q = 95°, ∠R = 65° and ∠S = 85°.
