Draw a rectangle whose one side measures 8cm and the length of each of whose diagonals is 10cm.
✓
Answer
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line segment AB = 8cm
- At B, draw a perpendicular BX
- With centre A and radius 10cm, draw an arc which intersects BX at C.
- With centre C and radius equal to AB and with centre A and radius equal to BC, draw arcs which intersect at D.
- Join AD, AC, CD and BD.
