Question
Draw a rectangle ABCD such that l(AB) = 6.0 cm and l (BC) = 4.5 cm.
Solution
Steps of Construction:
Step 1: Draw AB = 6 cm.
Step 2: Draw ∠ABX = 90º.
Step 3: With B as centre and radius 4.5 cm, draw an arc cutting the ray BX at C.
Step 4: With C as centre and radius 6 cm, draw an arc.
Step 5: With A as centre and radius 4.5 cm, draw an arc cutting the previous arc at D.
Step 6: Join AD and CD.
Here, ABCD is the required rectangle.
