Question

Construct a rectangle PQRS with PQ=5.2 cm and QR=2.6 cm.

Answer 1

Step 1: Draw PQ = 5.2 cm.
Step 2: At Q, construct a right angle,such that `anglePQX=90^(@)`.
Step 3: Taking Q as the center and 2.6 cm as radius, draw na arc to cut `bar(QX)` at R.
Step 4: With R and P as centers, draw two arcs with radii 5.2 cm and 2.6 cm respectively to cut each other at S. Join PS and RS. PQRS is the required rectangle.
