Draw a Rectangle Abcd Such that L(Ab) = 6.0 Cm and L (Bc) = 4.5 Cm. - Mathematics

Draw a rectangle ABCD such that l(AB) = 6.0 cm and l (BC) = 4.5 cm.

SOLUTION

Steps of Construction:

Step 1: Draw AB = 6 cm.

Step 2: Draw ∠ABX = 90º.

Step 3: With B as centre and radius 4.5 cm, draw an arc cutting the ray BX at C.

Step 4: With C as centre and radius 6 cm, draw an arc.

Step 5: With A as centre and radius 4.5 cm, draw an arc cutting the previous arc at D.

Step 6: Join AD and CD.

Here, ABCD is the required rectangle.
