Question

Sort the steps to construct a rectangle ABCD using the given measurements AB = 5 cm and BC = 12 cm.

• A. Draw AB
• B. $\left(CYperpendiculartoBC\right]$
• C. Mark BC on $\overrightarrow{BX}$
• D. $\left(DrawBXat90°\right]$
• E. Connect AD

Answer 1

1. Draw $\overline{AB}$ = 5 cm.
2. Using protractor, draw $\overrightarrow{BX}$ at 90°.
3. Mark $\overline{BC}$ = 12 cm on $\overrightarrow{BX}$.
4. Draw a ray $\overrightarrow{CY}$ perpendicular to BC on the left side of the BC.
5. Mark $\overline{CD}$ = $\overline{AB}$ = 5 cm on $\overrightarrow{CY}$.
6. Connect $\overline{AD}$ through a line.
