Question

Construct a square of side 4.8 cm and draw all its lines of symmetry .

Answer 1

Steps of Construction : 

(i) Draw a line segment AB = 4. 8 cm. 

(ii) At A and B, draw perpendiculars AX and BY 

(iii) From AX and BY, cut off AD = BC= 4. 8 cm 

(iv) Join DC. ABCD is the required square. 

(v) Now cir aw perpendi cu I ar bi sectors of AB and AD. 

(vi) Also join the diagonals AC and BD. 

The perpendicular bisectors and the diagonals are the lines of symmetry
