Solution
A parallelogram PQRS is constructed with sides QR = 6 cm, PQ = 4 cm and ∠PQR = 90°. Then PQRS is a rectangle.
Explanation:
Given PQRS is a parallelogram such that PQ = 4 cm, QR = 6 cm and ∠PQR = 90°
∠PQR + ∠SRQ = 180° ...[∵ Sum of interior angles on same side of transversal is 180°]
`\implies` ∠SRQ = 90°
Similarly, all the interior angles are 90°.
Hence, PQRS is a rectangle.
