Question

Construct a square with side 2.75 cm​

Answer 1

Construct a square of side 3 cm.

Thinking Process

Firstly, draw a line segment of given length. In both ends of segment draw an angle of 90° from these line segment draw a line up to the given length. Further draw an angle of 90° from these line and join the other line, to get the required construction

Answer 2

${\underline{\underline{\red{\bf{Steps\:of\: construction:}}}}}$

• Draw a line segment of length 2.75cm.
• Mark the ends of the line segment as A and B .
• At A and B construct 90° .
• Taking AB as radius and A as centre cut an arc of the perpendicular line.
• Similarly taking B as centre and AB as radius cut an arc on the perpendicular line .
• Mark the points of intersection as D and C respectively.
• Join C to D.

Hence ABCD is the required square.
