Question

Contruct a rectangle ABCD in which ab=86mm,bc=58mm

Answer 1

We have given the sides of rectangle which is AB = 8cm and Bc = 6cm

We know that opposite sides of rectangle are equal then

AB = DC =8cm and BC = AD = 6cm

Steps of construction :

⇒ Draw a line segment AB = 8cm

⇒ Since, we know all angles of rectangle are 90

∘

then construct an angle of 90

∘

at A and B.

⇒ Cut off AD and BC at 6cm.

⇒ Join CD.

Thus, we het the required rectangle ABCD.
