Q16 of 805 Page 12

Construct a square each of whose sides measures 3.2 cm.

Step 1: Construct base = 3.2cm



Step 2: An angle of 90° is constructed at A and 3.2cm length is cut off



Step 3: Arcs of radius 3.2cm with centres at D and B are cut off and the point of intersection A is joined with D and B



ABCD is the required square with AB=BC=CD=DA=3.2cm
