Perhaps you would care to post your solution here?

Draw a long line (1). Construct a perpendicular (2). Set dividers to
desired length of shortest leg (x). Strike that distance on the
perpendicular, starting at the intersection (origin, o). Step off twice
the divider setting on the first, horizontal line. Construct a
perpendicular at the 2x point (3). Strike the divider distance up the
second perpendicular (4). Connect the two upper points (5). (You now have
a 1x2 rectangle.) Set the dividers to 2x. Strike an arc which intersects
the upper horizontal (parens). Construct a third perpendicular to the
horizontal line which intersects the intersection of the second horizontal
and the 2x arc (6). Connect the origin to this last intersection (o, +).
