Every organism has a size that is convenient for its function. Not onlymulticellular organisms but also uni-cellular organisms and even subcellularstructures have convenient sizes. Flagella of eukaryotic cells are long dynamiccell protrusions. Because of their simple linear geometry, these cellappendages have been popular system for experimental investigation of themechanisms of size control of organelles of eukaryotic cells. In the past mostof the attention have been focussed on mono-flagellates and bi-flagellates. Byextending our earlier model of bi-flagellates, here we develop a theoreticalmodel for flagellar length control in {\it Giardia} which is anocto-flagellate. It has four pairs of flagella of four different lengths.Analyzing our model we predict the different sizes of the four pairs offlagella . This analysis not only provide insight into the physical origins ofthe different lengths but the predicted lengths are also consistent with theexperimental data.
