Question

Draw the following: A rectangle with adjacent sides of length $5\mathrm{cm}$ and $4\mathrm{cm}$.

Answer 1

Step 1. Draw side $\mathrm{AB}$ of length $5\mathrm{cm}$.

In rectangle, opposite sides are equal.

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{CD}=5\mathrm{cm} \\ \mathrm{AD}=\mathrm{BC}=4\mathrm{cm} \end{gathered}$$

Step 2. Draw $90°$ from point $\mathrm{A}$.

Step 3. Draw $90°$ from point $\mathrm{B}$.

Step 4. Take $4\mathrm{cm}$ as radius, and $\mathrm{A}$ as center and then draw an arc and mark the point where arc and line intersect as $\mathrm{D}$.

Ste4 5. Take $4\mathrm{cm}$ as radius, and $\mathrm{B}$ as center and then draw an arc and mark the point where arc and line intersect as $\mathrm{C}$.

Step 6. Join $\mathrm{CD}$ and label the sides.

Hence, rectangle $\mathrm{ABCD}$ is formed with adjacent sides of length $5\mathrm{cm}$ and $4\mathrm{cm}$.
