Constructing Squares and Rectangles

Construction of a Square

Let us understand this with the help of an example.

Example 3: Draw a square of side length 4 cm.

Solution: Steps of construction:
Step 1: Draw a line segment AB that is 4 cm long. A 4 cm B

Step 2: At point A, draw a perpendicular to line segment AB with the help of a protractor.

Step 3: On the perpendicular line, mark a point D such that the
distance from A to D is 4 cm. (We can use a ruler or a compass to

do this.)
