Let us draw the squares whose areas are equal to the areas of the rectangles by taking following lengths as its sides:
4.2cm., 3.5cm
Construction steps:
1. Draw a rectangle ABCD with length, AB = 4.2 cm and breadth, BC = 3.5 cm.

2. Extend CD to CE, such that CE = BC = 3.5 cm.

3. Draw the perpendicular bisector of DE which bisects DE at O.

4. Taking O as center and OD = OE as radius, draw a semicircle.

5. Extend BC which intersects semicircle at F.

6. Draw a square CFGH taking CF as side.

Here,
Area of square CFGH = area of rectangle ABCD
