Question
Construct a rectangle whose adjacent sides are $8cm$ and $3cm.$
✓
Answer
Draw a line segment AB of length 8cm.
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 = 3cm.
Similarly mark the point C on the ray Y such that BC = 3cm.
Draw the line segment CD.
ABCD is the required rectangle.
