Rectangle Construction D82686
1. The problem is to construct a rectangle ABCD.
2. A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles and opposite sides equal in length.
3. To construct rectangle ABCD, follow these steps:
4. Draw a line segment AB of any length.
5. At point A, construct a perpendicular line to AB.
6. On this perpendicular line, mark point D such that AD equals the desired width of the rectangle.
7. From point B, construct a perpendicular line to AB.
8. On this perpendicular line, mark point C such that BC equals AD.
9. Connect points C and D to complete the rectangle ABCD.
10. Verify that all angles are right angles and opposite sides are equal to confirm the figure is a rectangle.
