Guessing B with a ruler is trial and error. Draw DC = 5 cm. At C, draw a perpendicular to DC-a right-angle line-and choose the ray. B lies there, 7 cm from D. Set your compass to 7 cm; draw an arc centered at D. Every point on it is 7 cm from D. Mark B where arc meets the ray. Perpendiculars through D and B meet at A. Join the sides: rectangle complete, 5 across, 7 diagonally.
