Question

Construct a rectangle ABCD whose adjacent sides are 11 cm and 8.5 cm.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:
Step 1: Draw AB = $11cm$
Step 2: Make $$\begin{gathered} \angle A={90}^{\circ } \\ \angle B={90}^{\circ } \end{gathered}$$
Step 3: Draw an arc of 8.5 cm from point A and name that point as D.
Step 4: Draw an arc of 8.5 cm from point B and name that point as C.
Step 5: Join C and D.
Thus, ABCD is the required rectangle.
