Playing With Construction 121

Step 3: Now, draw the perpendicular line through point ‘K’ and mark another point R
‘R’ on this line which is 8 cm far from point ‘P’. So PR = 8 cm.

8 cm

90°

P 6 cm Q

Step 4: Now, again repeat the step (2) to draw an another perpendicular to PQ through point ‘Q’.

P Q
6 cm

Step 5: Now, draw an another perpendicular line through point ‘L’ and mark another point ‘S’ on this line with
the help of scale which is also 8 cm far apart from point ‘Q’. So, QS = 8 cm.

R S

8 cm 8 cm

P 6 cm Q

Step 6: Now, meet the point ‘R’ and point ‘S’ with the help of scale. By measurement of RS, we found that
RS = 6 cm.
R 6 cm S

8 cm

P 6 cm Q

In this way, a rectangle of 6 cm and 8 cm has been constructed.
