Question

Construct a rectangle ABCD, when:
Area = 36 cm² and height = 4.5 cm.

Answer 1

Given that the height = 4.5 cm and Area = 36 cm²
We know that the area of rectangle = base x Height
Therefore,
36 = base x 4.5
Base = 8 cm
With height = 4.5 and base = 8 cm, the rectangle is shown below:
Steps:
1. Draw base AB = 8 cm.
2. With A and B as a center draw arc taking radius = 4.5 cm at D and C.
3. Now join AD, BC, and DC.

ABCD is the required rectangle.
