Question

Construct a rectangle with length twice the width and width equal to r.

Answer 1

Steps provided below .

• Take a scale and measure r
• Now find 2r
• Construct two parallel and vertical lines of length r
• Now construct two adjacent parallel lines of length 2r

Answer 2

Properties of a rectangle:

• 2 pairs of parallel sides
• Parallel sides are of equal length
• All interior angles are 90° (right angles)
• Each side is perpendicular (at a right angle) to its adjacent side

Given:

• width of rectangle = r
• length of rectangle = twice width = 2 × r = 2r
