Question

Choose the correct order for the construction of the rectangle ABCD with AB = 6 cm and BC = 4 cm.

1. Construct a perpendicular AE to AB at A such that AE is greater than 4 cm.
2. With D as centre and radius 6 cm, draw an arc.
3. With A as centre and radius 4 cm draw an arc so as to cut AE at D.
4. Draw a line segment AB = 6cm.
5. With B as centre and radius 4 cm, draw another arc so as to intersect previous arc at C.
6. Join DC and BC. Then ABCD is the required rectangle

• A. 4, 1, 3, 5, 6, 2
• B. 4, 1, 2, 5, 6, 3
• C. 4, 3, 1, 2, 5, 6
• D. 4, 1, 3, 2, 5, 6

Answer 1

The correct option is D 4, 1, 3, 2, 5, 6

Correct order for the construction of the rectangle ABCD with AB = 6cm and BC = 4cm is:

1. Draw a line segment AB = 6cm.

2. Construct a perpendicular AE to AB at A such that AE is greater than 4 cm.

3. With A as centre and radius 4 cm draw an arc so as to cut AE at D.

4. With D as centre and radius 6 cm, draw an arc.

5. With B as centre and radius 4 cm, draw another arc so as to intersect previous arc at C.

6. Join DC and BC. Then ABCD is the required rectangle.
