GPT 3.5
To construct a square with sides of length AB, we can use the modifying line above AB, represented as AB with a bar on top.
1. Begin by drawing line segment AB with the given length using a ruler.
2. Place the point of your compass on point A and open it to a distance equal to the length of AB.
3. Draw an arc above AB that intersects the line segment when the compass is placed on point B.
4. Without changing the compass width, place the point of the compass on point B and draw another arc above AB. This arc should intersect the previous arc drawn.
5. Label the points of intersection as C and D.
6. Draw line segments CD to connect points C and D.
7. Finally, draw line segments AD and BC to complete the square.
By following these steps, you would have successfully constructed a square with sides of length AB.
