उत्तर
Steps of construction:
i. Draw a line segment AB equal to 8 cm.
ii. Draw two parallel lines l and m to AB at a distance of 4 cm.
iii. Draw the perpendicular bisector of AB which intersects the parallel lines l and m at X and Y respectively then, X and Y are the required points.
iv. Join AX, AY, BX and BY.
The figure so formed is a square as its diagonals are equal and intersect at 90°.
