b) P is equidistant from C and D.
ii) Measure and record the length of AB.

Solution
- i) Steps of Construction:
1) Draw a line segment BC = 5 cm
2) B as centre and radius 4 cm draw an arc at an angle of 45 degrees from BC.
3) Join PC.
4) B and C as centers, draw two perpendiculars to BC.
5) P as centre and radius PC, cut an arc on the perpendicular on C at D.
6) D as centre, draw a line parallel to BC which intersects the perpendicular on B at A.
ABCD is the required rectangle such that P is equidistant from AB and BC (since BD is angle bisector of angle B) as well as C and D.
- ii) On measuring AB = 5.7 cm
