Step 5: Now, draw an another perpendicular line through point ‘L’ and mark another point ‘S’ on this line with
the help of scale which is also 8 cm far apart from point ‘Q’. So, QS = 8 cm.

R S

8 cm 8 cm

P 8 cm Q

Step 6: Now, meet the point R and point S with the help for scale. By measuring RS, we found that RS = 8 cm.

R 8 cm S

8 cm 8 cm

P 8 cm Q

In this way, a square of 8 cm has been constructed.

CONSTRUCTION OF RECTANGLE
Here, we will learn how to construct a rectangle of side length 6 cm and 8 cm.

Now, let us construct a rectangle by following the steps given below:

Step 1: First of all, draw a horizontal line of 6 cm length by the help for a scale and mark the end points as
P and Q.

P 6 cm Q

Step 2: Now, with the help of protractor, mark a point ‘K’ to draw a perpendicular to PQ through point ‘P’.
