Given are the steps to construct a square using a compass when the length of the side is given. Arrange the steps. i. Join A, B, C and D to form a square ii. At A with radius AB draw an arc, cut the AE at D iii. Draw a line AB with given length. At A draw a perpendicular AE to AB using arcs iv. With centers B and D and the same radius, draw arcs intersecting at C

Given are the steps to construct a square using a compass when the length of the side is given. Arrange the steps. i. Join A, B, C and D to form a square ii. At A with radius AB draw an arc, cut the AE at D iii. Draw a line AB with given length. At A draw a perpendicular AE to AB using arcs iv. With centers B and D and the same radius, draw arcs intersecting at C Correct Answer iii, ii, iv, i

Here we just used simple techniques like drawing perpendiculars using arcs and then used the compass to locate the fourth point. Using the compass it is easier to draw different types of closed figures than using set-squares.
