Question

Construct a rectangle ABCD, when:

One side $=5.4$ cm and one diagonal is 7.0 cm.

Answer 1

Step 1: Draw line segment $AB=5.4cm$
Step 2: With B as the centre and radius equal to $5.4cm$ , draw an arc.
Step 3: With A as the centre and radius equal to $7cm$, draw another arc such that it intersects the previous arc at C.
Step 4: Join points B,C and points A, C.
Step 5: With A as the centre and radius equal to $5.4cm$, draw an arc.
Step 6: With C as the centre and the same radius, draw another arc such that it intersects the previous arc at D.
Step 7: Join points D, A and points D, C.
ABCD is the required rhombus.
