Construct square GOLD, one of whose diagonal is given below. Find its area also.
5 cm.
Step 1 – Draw a line GL of length 5 cm
Step 2 – Draw a perpendicular bisector DO of GL of same length as GL
HERE GL = DO = 5 cm
Step 3 – Join the four points GOLD
Area of square = (where D is the Diagonal)
Area =
Area = 12.5 cm2
