Question

construct a rectangle AB = 8 cm, BC = 5.8 cm​

Answer 1

Here are the steps to draw it.

Do as directed :

► Draw a line segment AB = 8 cm.

► Draw an angle of 90° from both A and B (since , angle in the rectangle is 90°)

► Open compass 5.8 cm and from B mark the point C on line BL ∴ BC = 5.8 cm.

► Same with A mark a point D on the line AM . ∴ AD = 4.6 cm.

► Join C to D.  

Hence  ABCD is the required rectangle.
