Solution:

Steps of Construction

1. Construct a line segment BC of 5 cm.

2. Generate 90° at B and C of line segment BC and mark the parallel lines BX and CY at these points

3. Cut AB and CD of 3.5 cm length from BX and CY

4. Construct an angle 90° at one point A or D and join both points by AD of length 5 cm

5. ABCD is the required rectangle.

Therefore, ABCD is the rectangle of the required length and breadth.
