Question

What is the minimum number of measurements are required for the construction of a rectangle?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2

A rectangle is parallelogram where its opposite sides are equal and all angles equal to ${90}^{\circ }$.

So, by knowing the measure of a set of its adjacent sides, we will get the measurement of all of its sides and all angles of a rectangle is equal to ${90}^{\circ }$. By knowing all sides and angles we can construct an unique rectangle.

Hence, the minimum number of measurements required for the construction of a rectangle is 2.
