Construct rectangle MORE with the following measurements. Find its area also.

ME = 4 cm and diagonal OE = 6 cm.

Step 1 – Construct a line OR = 3 cm



Step 2 – Draw a ray perpendicular to ME passing through M



Step 3 – Cut an arc of length 6 cm on the ray with E as center and mark the intersecting point as O.



Step 4 – Complete the rectangle OR and RE perpendicular to MO and ME respectively.



Measure RE


⇒ RE = 5.2 cm


Area = 3 × 5.2


Area = 15.6 cm2
