Question
Draw a rectangle whose one side measures 8 cm and the length of each of whose diagonals is 10 cm.
Solution
(i) Draw a side AB, equal to 8 cm.
(ii) With A as the centre, draw an arc of length 10 cm.
(iii) Draw\[\angle\]ABX = 90° which intersects the arc at C.
(iv)Draw\[\angle\]= 90° .
(v) With C as the centre, draw an arc of length 8 cm.
