Question

Given line AB, explain how to construct a square with the sides of length AB

Answer 1

1.first draw line seg AB.
2. Next, construct 90 degree angles on points A & B
3. With the help of compass, measure the length of seg AB
4. Taking A as centre, intersect an arc from the ray making 90 degree angle from point A. Let this point be D
5. Now, taking B as centre, intersect an arc from the ray making 90 degree angle from point B. Let this point be C
6. Join CD
7. Finally, your square ABCD is ready.
