Karnataka Board Class 8 Maths Chapter 15 Quadrilaterals Ex 15.5
Question 1.
Construct rectangle ABCD with the following data.
(a) AB = 4 cm, BC = 6 cm.
Answer:
Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal as each angle is a right angle.
∴ AB = CD = 4 cm.
Steps:
- Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm.
- Construct a perpendicular at B.
- With a 7 cm radius at A as center draw an arc on the perpendicular. Let the point be C.
- With BC as radius draw an arc from A.
- With AB as radius cut the arc from A.
- Join AD and CD.
(b) AB = 6 cm AC = 7.2 cm
Steps:
- Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm.
- Draw perpendicular at B.
- With a 4 cm radius cut the line at A.
- With AD = 6 cm draw an arc.
- With CD – 4 cm cut the arc.
- Join AD and CD.
Question 2.

(a) Which has side length 2 cm.
(b) Which has diagonal 6 cm.
Answer:
(a). Steps
- Draw a line segment AB = 2 cm.
- At A, construct a perpendicular
- With A as center cut the perpendicular
- With a 2 cm radius from B and D draw the arc.
- Join DC and BC.
(b) Steps:
- Draw a line segment AC = 6 cm.
- Construct a perpendicular bisector to AC intersecting at O.
