In Fig. 18, the sides *BA* and *CD* of the square *ABCD* are increased to *E* and *F* respectively, so that each of the sides *BE* and *CF* becomes equal to the given length *PQ*. The diagonal cord *CE* cuts the side *AD* at *O*. Then the northern portion *EBHG* is cut off by drawing a line *HG* passing through *O* parallel to the *prācī* line *BA*. Now *GHCF* is the required rectangle.
