What are the steps for using a compass and straightedge to construct a square? Drag the steps and drop them in order from start to finish. Construct a circle with point P as the center and a circle with point Q as a center with each circle having radius PQ . Label the point of intersection of circle T and RS¯¯¯¯¯ closest to point R, point U, and the point of intersection of circle T and RS¯¯¯¯¯ closest to point S, point V. Construct a circle with point T as the center with radius TQ . Construct horizontal PQ¯¯¯¯¯ Label the point of intersection of the two circles above PQ¯¯¯¯¯ , point R, and the point of intersection of the two circles below PQ¯¯¯¯¯ , point S. Construct RS¯¯¯¯¯, the perpendicular bisector of PQ¯¯¯¯¯ , intersecting PQ¯¯¯¯¯ at point T. Construct PU¯¯¯¯¯ , UQ¯¯¯¯¯ , QV¯¯¯¯¯ , and VP¯¯¯¯¯ to complete square PUQV .
