Given side of the square = 6 cm
Steps :
(i) Drawn a line segment ST = 6 cm.
(ii) At S, constructed SX ⊥ ST.
(iii) With S as centre, drawn an arc of radius 6 cm and let it cut SX at E.
(iv) With E and T as centre drawn an arc of radius 6 cm each and let them cut at W.
(v) Joined TW and EW.
(vi) WEST is the required square.
Calculation of Area :
Area of the square WEST = a2 sq.units
= 6 × 6 cm2
= 36 cm2
