Question

Construct a square of side 3 cm.

Answer 1

As we know that, each angle of a square is right angle that is 90°.

To construct: A square of side 3 cm, use the following steps.

1. Take AB = 3 cm.
2. Now, draw an angle of 90° at points A and B and plot the parallel lines AX and BY at these points.
3. Cut AD and DC of length 3 cm from AX and BY, respectively.
4. Draw 90° at any one of the point C or D and join both points by CD of length 3 cm.
5. Therefore, ABCD is the required square of side, 3 cm.
