Construct a rectangle ABCD given
1. AB = 6 cm, BC = 5 cm
We know that in rectangle measure of each angle is 90° and opposite sides are equal.
⇒ Draw a line segment AB=6cm.
⇒ Construct angle of 90o at points A and B
⇒ Cut off AD=5cm and BC=5cm
⇒ Join CD.
Construct a rectangle ABCD given
AB = 5.8 cm, BC = 4.6 cm
⇒draw a line segment AB = 5.8 cm
draw an angle of 90° from both A and B (since , angle in the rectangle is 90°)
⇒open compass 4.6 cm and from B mark the point C on line BL ∴ BC = 4.6 cm
⇒same with A mark a point D on the line AM .∴
join C to D .
⇒then, ABCD is the required rectangle.
Construct a triangle ABCD given
AB = 7 cm, BC =5.5 cm
We know that in rectangle measure of each angle is 90o and opposite sides are equal.
⇒ Draw a line segment AB=7cm.
⇒ Construct angle of 90o at points A and B
⇒ Cut off AD=5.5cm and BC=5.5cm
⇒ Join CD.
