We know that, a rectangle is a parallelogram whose opposite sides are equal and each of the angle is 90°.
If PQ and QR are given, then
PQ =RS and QR =PS
Steps of construction
Step I Draw PQ and make \(\angle\)POX = 90°.

Step II Cut QR from QX.
Step III Draw \(\angle\)QRY = 90° and cut RS = PQ from RY

Step I Let AB = 4 cm and draw \(\angle\)ABX = 90°.
Step II Cut the length BC = 4 cm from BX.
Step III Draw \(\angle\)BAY = 90°.
Step IV Cut AD = 4 cm from AY.
Step V Join DC.

Thus, we get a square ABCD, whose one of the side is 4 cm.
7.
Since, opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
\(\therefore\) AB = DC = 4 cm \(\Rightarrow\) BC = AD = 5 cm
Steps of construction
Step I Draw AB = 4 cm.
Step II Draw ray BX such that \(\angle\) ABX = 60°.
Step III Mark a point C such that, BC = 5 cm.
Step IV With C and A as centre, draw arcs of length 4 cm and 5 cm respectively.

Hence, ABCD is the required parallelogram.
8.
\(\because\) \(\angle \)A+\(\angle \)D = 180°
\(\therefore\) 105°+\(\angle \)D=180° \(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle \)D = 75°
Steps of construction
Step I Draw AB = 4 cm.
Step II Draw \(\overline { AX } \) such that, \(\angle \)BAX = 105°.
Step III Mark a point D on AX such that AD = 3 cm.
Step IV Draw \(\overline { DY } \) such that \(\angle \)ADY = 75°.
