Question

Construct a rectangle $\text{ABCD}$ with $\text{AB=5 cm, BC=3.5 cm}$

Answer 1

Steps for construction :

Step 1. Draw a line segment $AB=5\text{cm}$.

Step 2. Construct $\angle ABC={90}^{\circ }$ at points $B$.

Step 3. On $AB$, make $BC=3\text{cm}$.

Step 4. With $A$ as centre and radius $=3.5\text{cm}$ , draw an arc.

Step 3. With $C$ as centre and radius $=5\text{cm}$ , draw an arc to cut the arc in the previous step at point $D$

Step 4. Join $CD$ and $AD$

Hence, the required rectangle $ABCD$ is constructed.
