SOLUTION

These are the steps to make a square ABCD.

• Draw BC = 4.5 cm.

• At B, construct Angle CBP = 90°.

• From BP, cut off BA = 4.5cm.

• With C as centre and radius = 4.5 cm, draw an arc.

• With A as centre and radius = 4.5 cm, draw an arc to meet the previous arc at D.

• Join AD and CD. Then ABCD is the required square.
