| Construction Algorithm | ||
| 1 |  |
Construct a line AB as a given base of the rectangle. |
| 2 | |
Construct a perpendicular line to AB through the point B. |
| 3 | |
Construct a point C on the perpendicular line. |
| 4 | |
Construct a parallel line to AB through the point C. |
| 5 | |
Construct a circle centered at C and has a radius AB. |
| 6 | |
Generate the intersection point between the circle and the line constructed in step 4 to find the fourth vertex of the rectangle. |
| 7 | |
Join up the four points A, B, C and D to get the required rectangle. |
| 8 | |
Switch to drag mode. Pick a free element. Move it around to check your construction. |
