Question

Construct square $ABCD$ which has side-length $2cm$.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

• Draw $AB=2cm.$
• At $A$, draw $AE$ perpendicular to $AB$.
• With $A$ as a center and $2cm$ as radius draw an arc to intersect $AE$ at $D$.
• With $D$ as a center and $2cm$ cm as radius draw an arc.
• With $B$ as a center and $2$ cm as radius draw another arc to intersect at $C$.
• Join $BC$ and $DC$.

Hence, $ABCD$ is the required square in the above-drawn figure.
