Construct a rectangle with sides 6cm and 4cm.
2 answers:
Answer:
- First, draw a line segment AB = 6 cm.
- Draw a ray AX with pencil and compass such that ∠BAX = 90°. Draw an arc of 4 cm with point A which intersects AX at D.
- Similarly, draw ray BY such that ∠ABY = 90°. Draw an arc of 4 cm with point B which intersects BY at C.
- Join CD.
- Thus ABCD is the required rectangle.

<h3>Answer: (-1, -3)</h3>
===================================
How I got that answer:
- Step 1) Plot the point P = (-1,5)
- Step 2) Draw a horizontal line through 1 on the y axis to create the line y = 1.
- Step 3) Starting at point P, move down 4 spaces until you reach (-1,1) which is on the horizontal line. I'll call this point A.
- Step 4) Move another 4 spaces vertically downward until you arrive at (-1, -3). This is the location of P' and it is the final answer.
The distance from P' to A is the same as the distance from P to A. In other words, P'A = PA.
