Construct a square, each of whose diagonals measures 5.8 cm.

The given square ABCD can be drawn as follows:


Step 1: Draw a line segment AC = 5.8 cm.


Step 2: Draw the bisector XY of AC meeting at O


Step 3: Set OB = 2.9 cm and OD = 2.9 cm (Half of 5.8 cm)


Step 4: Now, join AB, BC, CD and DA.



ABCD is the required square.
