Question

construct a square mnop in which mn is equal to 5 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps for construction :

Step 1. Draw AC=5cm

Step 2. With A as center, draw an arc of length slightly greater than

2

1

AC above and below the line segment AC.

Step 3. With C as center, draw an arc of same length as in second step above and below the line segment AC which intersects the arcs drawn in step 2.

Step 4. Join both the intersection points obtained in step 3 by a line segment that intersects AC at O.

Step 5. With O as center cut-off OB=OD=2.5cm , along the bisector line.

Step 6. Join AD,CD,AB and CB.

Hence, ABCD is the required square.
