Options

• 4

• 3

• 2

• 1

Answer 1

To construct a unique rectangle, the minimum number of measurements required is 2.

Explanation:

Since, in a rectangle, opposite sides are equal and parallel, so we need the measurement of only two adjacent sides, i.e. length and breadth.

Also, each angle measures 90°.

Hence, we require only two measurements to construct a unique rectangle.
