Question

How will you construct rectangle PQRS if you know only the length PQ=7 and OR=5 . With the steps of construction

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that, in rectangle the measure of each angle is 90

o

and diagonals are equal.

⇒ Draw a line segment PQ=7cm

⇒ Draw an angle of 90°at point P and Q

⇒ Take P and Q as center with radius 5 cm and draw an arc on opposite perpendicular. We will get points R and S

⇒ Join PR,QS and RS.

∴ PQRS is required rectangle.
