Expert Answer
In a rectangle both the diagonals are equal, so we have LN = MO = 8.5 cm and each angle is 90°. So 
M = N = 90°.
Steps of construction:
a)Draw MN = 5.5cm.
b)Draw XMN = 90° and YNM = 90°.
c)With N as centre and radius 8.5cm draw an arc to cut MX at L.
d)With M as centre and radius 8.5cm, draw an arc to cut NY at O.
e)Join LO.
LMNO is the required rectangle.
