Constructing a rectangle divided into 3 identical squares.We need to construct this Now, let’s do steps- of construction Since all angles are 90° ∴ ∠ A = ∠ B = ∠ C = ∠ D = 90° We draw the rectangle using 2 sides, and 3 angles Steps of construction 1. Draw side AB of length 12 cm 2. Now, we draw 90° from point A 3. Now, we draw 90° from point B Taking 4 cm as radius, and B as center, draw an arc. Where the arc intersects the line is point C Now, make 90° from point C 6. Mark point D where the lines from point A and point C intersect 7. Now keeping compass as same 4 cm open, draw an arc from point A on AB – marking point AB 8. Similarly, keep pointy end on E, compass same 4 cm open and mark point F To mark H and G – we can use two methods Method 1 – Make 90° from point E and point F and intersect line CD at point H and G respectively Method 2 – Mark 4 cm from point D to mark point H and 4 cm from point G to mark point G 9. Using Method 2 to make points H and G 10. Join EH and FG Thus, this is our required figure
