Can we construct a rectangle when one side and one diagonal is given?
Can we construct a rectangle when one side and one diagonal is given?Construct a rectangle when one diagonal and the angle between the two diagonals are given - example. When one diagonal AC = 6.4 cm and the angle between the two diagonals are given to be 60o. ... Then, ABCD is the required rectangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Not only one but infinite number of rectangles can be drawn for given diagonal.
To visualise this, draw an origin centered circle of radius r.
Consider a point P on the circle having coordinates x and y.
Draw perpendicular from point P to the x and y axes.
x^2 + y^2 = r^2,
We have a rectangle with sides x and y and diagonal r ( extending from the origin to P)
Now move the point along the circumference of the circle. It will trace out infinite number of rectangles , with differing values for sides x and y , but the same radius r.
