Construction Algorithm |
1 |
|
Construct a line AC as a given diagonal of the square. |
2 |
|
Construct M as a midpoint of the diagonal AC. |
3 |
|
Construct the perpendicular line at M. |
4 |
|
The rotation button is already generated in the construction area. |
5 |
|
Rotate the points A and C with the defined rotation to construct the points B and D. |
6 |
|
Join
up the four points A, B, C and D to get the required square. |
7 |
|
Switch
to drag mode. Pick a free element. Move it around to check your
construction. |
Construction Theorems
|
The two diagonals of the square are perpendicular to each other and equal in length.
Rotation preserves the distance between points.
