Question
Construct a square of side $3\ cm.$
✓
Answer
We know that, each angle of a square is right angle (i.e., $90^{\circ}$ ). To construct a square of side $3 cm $, use the following steps.
1. Draw a line segment $A S$ of length $3 cm .$
2. Now, generate an angle of $90^{\circ}$ at points $A$ and $B$ of the line segment and plot the parallel lines $A X$ and $B Y$ at these points.
3. Cut $A D$ and $S C$ of length $3 cm$ from $A X$ and $B Y$, respectively.
4. Draw an angle of $90^{\circ}$ at any one of the point $C$ or $D$ and join both points by a line segment $C D$ of length $3 cm .$ Thus, $A B C D$ is the required square of side, $3 cm .$
