               CH: 8-PLAYING WITH CONSTRUCTIONS
               SUBTOPIC: CONSTRUCTING SQUARES AND RECTANGLES



               let us construct them using a ruler and compass.
                     Constructing a Square
                          Steps to construct a square with a side of 6 cm:
                   1.  Draw a line segment PQ of 6 cm.
                   2.  Use a compass to draw a perpendicular line from point P.
                   3.  Mark point S on the perpendicular such that PS is also 6 cm.
                   4.  Repeat the process from point Q to complete the square to find point ‘S’.
                   5.  Join RS.
                   6.   PQRS is the required square.
