Solution
Given: BC = 5 cm, BP = 4 cm and ∠PBC = 45°
Steps of construction :
1. Constant ΔBCP with BC = 5 cm, BP = 4 cm and ∠PBC = 45°.
2. Draw perpendicular BE and CF and B and C respectively.
3. Draw perpendicular from on CF meeting CF in K.
4. Cut CD from CF, such that CK = KD.
5. Cut BA from BE, such that BA = CD.
6. Join AD.
Hence, ABCD is the required rectangle and AB = 5·7 cm.
