Question

construct a rectangle ABCD in which AD=2.5cm and BD =5.5

cm major CD.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thus, ABCD is the required rectangle.

...

Solution

Draw AD = 3.2 cm.

Draw ∠XAD = 90°.

With D as centre and radius BD = 5.5 cm, draw an arc to cut AX at point B.

Join BD.

With B as centre and radius 3.2 cm draw an arc and with D as centre and radius = AB, draw another arc to cut the previous arc at C.

Join BC and CD.

Answer 2

1. Draw BD = 5.5 cm.

2. Bisect AC at O.

3. At O, draw ∠XOC = 60° and produce XO to Y.

4. Cut OB = OA and OD = OA (half the diagonal AC).

5. Join AB, BC, AD and CD. Thus ABCD is the required rectangle.
