Given side = 6.5 cm
Steps :
(i) Drawn a line segment EA = 6.5 cm.
(ii) At E, constructed EX ⊥ EA.
(iii) With E as centre, drawn an arc of radius 6.5 cm and let it cut EX at T.
(iv) With A and T as centre drawn an arc of radius 6.5 cm each and let them cut at S.
(v) Joined TS and AS.
(vi) EAST is the required square.
Calculation of Area :
Area of the square EAST = a2 sq.units
= 6.5 × 6.5 cm2
= 42.25 cm2
