Construct a rectangle whose adjacent sides are of lengths $5\,cm$ and $3.5\,cm$.
(N/A) Steps of construction:
$1.$ Draw a line segment $AB = 5\,cm$.
$2.$ Construct an angle of $90^{\circ}$ at point $A$ and point $B$ using a compass or set square.
$3.$ With $A$ as the center and radius $= 3.5\,cm$,draw an arc to intersect the perpendicular line at $D$.
$4.$ With $B$ as the center and radius $= 3.5\,cm$,draw an arc to intersect the perpendicular line at $C$.
$5.$ Join $CD$. Thus,$ABCD$ is the required rectangle with adjacent sides $5\,cm$ and $3.5\,cm$.
