Advertisements
Solution
Steps of Construction:
Step 1: Draw WX = 5.2 cm.
Step 2: Draw ∠WXP = 90º.
Step 3: With X as the center and a radius of 5.2 cm, draw an arc cutting the ray XP at Y.
Step 4: With Y as centre and radius 5.2 cm, draw an arc.
Step 5: With W as centre and radius 5.2 cm, draw an arc cutting the previous arc at Z.
Step 6: Join YZ and WZ.

Here, WXYZ is the required square.
