Question

Construct a rectangle ABCD, when AB = 5cm and BC = 6.2cm.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:
1. Draw BC = 6.2 cm
2. Through B, draw BP such that ∠B = 90°
3. From BP, cut BA = 5 cm
4. With A and C as centres and radii 6.2 cm and 5 cm respectively, draw arcs cutting each other at D.
5. Join AD and CD.
Thus, ABCD is the required triangle.
