Question
Construct a square of side 3cm.
✓
Answer
We know that, each angle of a square is right angle (i.e., 90°). To construct a square of side 3 cm, use the following steps.
- Draw a line segment AS of length 3 cm.
- Now, generate an angle of 90º at points A and B of the line segment and plot the parallel lines AX and BY at these points.
- Cut AD and SC of length 3 cm from AX and BY, respectively.
- Draw an angle of 90º at any one of the point C or D and join both points by a line segment CD of length 3 cm.
Thus, ABCD is the required square of side, 3cm.
