Solution
Concept : 1 Mark Steps : 1 Mark Construction : 1 Mark
Concept : Each angle of rectangle is 90∘ Opposite sides of rectangle are equal i.e., AD = BC and AB = DC.
Steps of construction :
1. Draw a line segment BC of length 4.5 cm. 2. At B Construct an angle of 90∘ and draw a ray. 3. From C draw an arc of radius 6 cm which intersects the ray drawn from B at a point. Let the point of intersection be A. 4. From A draw an arc radius of 4.5 cm and from C draw an arc of radius which equals the length of AD. 5. Thes two arc intersect at a point, let it be D. 6. Join AD and CD. ABCD is the required rectangle.
