Answer

To do this, put one side of the rectangle on the positive x-axis and the other side of the rectangle on the positive y-axis.

Work Step by Step

As a result, drawing the other two sides will not be as difficult. In order to examine the diagonals, draw a straight line from each corner to the corner that it is the furthest away from.
