Question

Draw a circle and any two of its diameters.If you join the ends of these diameters, what is the figure obtained?

Answer 1

Let us draw a circle of radius $5$cm

$1.$Mark point $O$ as the center.

$2.$Let us make a circle of radius $5$cm, we measure $5$cm using ruler and compass.

$3.$Now keeping compass opened the same length. We keep pointed end at the centre and draw a circle using the pencil end of the compass. So, this is the circle with centre $O$ and radius $OP=5$cm.

Let us draw two diameters $AB$ and $CD$

Joining ends of the diameter

On measuring ,

$AD=BC=4.3$cm

$AC=BD=2.5$cm and

$\angle A=\angle B=\angle C=\angle D={90}^{\circ }$

So, $ABCD$ is a rectangle
