Question

write steps of construction.
(construct a square when the diagonal is given as 5 cm)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a line segment AC=5cm length

Now 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 (2.5 cm) 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 5cm.
