EXAMS HELP PLZ construct a square with each diagonal equal to 7.5 cm
Answers
Answer:
Draw a line segment AC = 7.5cm lengthNow draw perpendicular bisector of AC. Let it intersect AC at point O.With O as centre and radius equal to half of the length of the diagonal (3.25cm) draw two arcs on either side of AC on the perpendicular bisector.Mark the point of intersections of the arcs and perpendicular bisectors as B and C.Join points A, B; points B, C; points C, D; points A, D. Thus ABCD is the required square with length of diagonal 7.5 cm
1. Begin the construction using the diagonals.
2. Draw a diagonal AC = 7.5 cm.
3. Diagonals in a square are perpendicular bisectors.
4. Hence, draw the perpendicular bisector of the drawn diagonal AC
5. Cut it with an arc of radius 3.75 cm top and bottom.
6 Join the points to get the required square.
