Step 2: Now by the help of protractor, mark a point ‘k to Step 3: Now draw this perpendicular line
draw a perpendicular to PQ through point ‘P’. through point ‘k’ and mark another
point ‘R’ on this line which is 8 cm far
K
from point ‘P’. So PR = 8 cm.

8 cm
P 8 cm Q

P 8 cm Q

Step 4: Now, again repeat the step (2) to draw an another Step 5: Now, draw an another perpendicular
perpendicular to PQ. Through point ‘Q’. line through point ‘L’ and mark
another point ‘S’ on this line with the
R help of scale which is also 8 cm far
apart from point ‘Q’. So, QS = 8 cm.

8 cm

8 cm 8 cm

P 8 cm Q 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.
