The length and breadth of the rectangle is to be 4 cm and 2 cm respectively. The length is supposed to run along the folded crease, distanced 2 cm away from it.
In other words, the breadth should run upto 2 cm, perpendicular to the crease and the length is supposed to be 4 cm parallel to the crease.
