Question
Construct a square of side 4 cm.
Solution
We know that, all sides of a square are equal and each side is perpendicular to adjacent side.
So, AB = BC = CD = DA = 4 cm
Steps of construction:
Step I: Draw `bar(AB)` = 4 cm.
Step II: At B, draw `bar(BX)` that is ∠ABX = 90°.
Step III: From `bar(BX)`, cut-off BC = 4 cm.
Step IV: With centre C and radius = 4 cm, drawn an arc.
Step V: With centre A and radius = 4 cm, draw another arc to intersect the previous arc at D.
Step VI: Join DA and CD.
Hence, ABCD is the required square.
