Question
Construct a rectangle whose adjacent sides are $8\ cm$ and $3\ cm.$
✓
Answer
Draw a line segment $AB$ of length $8\ cm.$ Construct $\angle\text{BAX}=90^{\circ}$ at point A and $\angle\text{ABY}=90^{\circ}$ at point $B.$ Using a compass and ruler, mark a point $D$ on the ray $AX$ such that $AD = 3\ cm.$ Similarly mark the point $C$ on the ray $Y$ such that $BC = 3\ cm.$ Draw the line segment $CD.$
$ABCD$ is the required rectangle.
