Question

Construct a rectangle ABCD, when:
Area = 24 cm² and base = 4.8 cm².

Answer 1

Given that the base = 4.8 cm² and Area = 24 cm²
We know that the area of the rectangle = base x Height.
Therefore,
24 = 4.8 x height
Height = 5

With base = 4.8 cm² and height = 5 cm²,
the rectangle is shown below:

Steps:
1. Draw base AB = 4.8 cm².
2. With A and B as a center draw an arc taking radius 5 cm² at D and C.
3. Now join AD, BC, and DC.

ABCD is the required rectangle.
