Question

construct a rectangle whose adjacent sides are 8cm and 3 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that, each angle of a rectangle is right angle (i.e., 90°) and its opposite sides are equal and parallel.

To construct a rectangle whose adjacent sides are of lengths 5 cm and 3.5 cm, use the 1 following steps

1.Draw a line segment BC of length 5 cm.

2.Now, generate an angle of 90° at points B and C of the line segment BC and plot the parallel lines BX and CY at these points.

3.Cut AB and CD of length 3.5 cm from BX and CY, respectively.

4.Draw an angle 90° at one of the point A or D and join both points by a line segment AD of length 5 cm.

Thus, ABCD is the required rectangle with

adjacent sides of length 5 cm and 3.5 cm.

Answer 2

Construction:-

[See the attachment for construction].

Steps Of Construction:-

• Dray a ray AX.

• With A as centre draw an arc of radius 8 cm which intersects the ray AX at point B.

• From point A construct an angle BAY = 90°.

• With A as centre draw am arc which intersects AY at point C.

• From Point B construct an angle ABZ = 90°.

• From point C construct an angle ACQ = 90°.

• Join AD where AD is a point of intersection of rays BZ and CQ.
