Question 1 - Page 204 How should the rectangle be constructed so that the diagonal divides the opposite angles into equal parts?We made this rectangle PQRS For angles to be divided into equal parts – ∠ a = ∠ b = 45° This is only possible when adjacent sides are equal So, PQ = PS But PQ = SR and PS = RQ So, we can write PQ = RQ = SR = PS Thus, all sides are equal So, we need to construct a square
