Question
Draw a reactangle whose two adjacent sides are 5.4cm and 3.5cm.
✓
Answer
Steps of construction:
- Draw a ray AX.
- With A as the centre, cut the ray XA at B, such that AB is equal to 3.5cm.
- With B as the centre and with any convenient radius, draw an arc cutting AX at M and N.
- With N as the centre and with radius more than half of MN, draw an arc.
- With M as the centre and with the radius same as before, draw another arc to cut the previous arc at Y.
- Draw BY and produced it to W.
- With B as the centre and a radius of 5.4cm, cut ray BW at point C.
- With C as the centre and a radius 3.5cm, draw an arc on the right side of BC.
- With A as the centre and a radius 5.4cm, draw an arc cutting the previous arc at D.
- Join CD and AD.
