Draw a rectangle with sides of length 4 cm and 6 cm. After drawing, check if it satisfies Class 6

Question 1.

Draw a rectangle with sides of length 4 cm and 6 cm. After drawing, check if it satisfies both the rectangle properties. Class 6

Solution:

Step 1: Draw a line-segment AB of length 6 cm.

Step 2 : Make an angle XAB of 90°, using a protractor.

Step 3: Mark a point D on ray AX such that AD = 4 cm. (For this purpose, either a ruler or compass may be used.)

Step 4: At point B, draw an angle YBA of 90°, using a protractor.

Step 5: Mark point C on ray BY such that BY = 4 cm, as done in step 3.

Step 6: Join C and D.

We get the required rectangle ABCD.

Yes, this rectangle satisfies all the properties of rectangle, because on measurement, we find that CD = 6 cm, ∠C = 90° and ∠D = 90°.

Question 2.

Draw a rectangle of sides 2 cm and 10 cm. After drawing, check if it satisfies both the rectangle properties. Class 6

Solution:

Note : Follow the same steps as done in Question 1 above with AB = 10 cm and AD = 2 cm.
