Question

Draw a rectangle whose one side measures 8 cm and the length of each of whose diagonals is 10 cm.

Answer 1

(i) Draw a side AB, equal to 8 cm.
(ii) With A as the centre, draw an arc of length 10 cm.
(iii) Draw $\angle$ABX = 90$°$, which intersects the arc at C.
(iv)Draw $\angle$BAY = 90$°$.
(v) With C as the centre, draw an arc of length 8 cm.
(vi) Join CD.
Thus, ABCD is the required rectangle.
