Formation of Square and Rectangle

In formation of square and rectangle we will learn how to construct square and rectangle.

Construction of a Square:

We follow the method given below.

Construction of a Square

Step I: We draw a line segment AB of the required length.

Step II: We draw the right angles at both end points A and B on the line segment AB.

Step III: We cut off the sides of the square AD and BC, equal to AB, on both the perpendicular lines drawn at points A and B on line segment AB.

Step IV: Now we join the points A and D, B and C and D and C to form the required square.


Construction of a Rectangle:

We follow the same method as described above.

Construction of a Rectangle

Step I: After drawing perpendicular lines at points A and B on the line segment AB, we cut off the required breadth of the rectangle AD and BC from both the perpendicular lines.

Step II: Now we join the points A and D, B and C and D and C to form the required rectangle.


Remember: The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is always 360°
