Answer
In the given figure, there are three falling squares and the side of each square is 4 cm.
Step 1. Using a ruler, draw a line AB equal to 4 cm. Using a protractor, draw perpendicular lines at A and B.
Using a ruler, mark point C on a perpendicular line at A such that AC = 4 cm.
Using a ruler, mark points D and E on a perpendicular line at B such that BD = 4 cm and DE = 4 cm. (Fig. 1)
Step 2. Join C and D. Produce CD to F such that DF = 4 cm. Using a protractor, draw a perpendicular line at F. Using a ruler, mark points G and H on a perpendicular line at F such that FG = 4 cm and GH = 4 cm. (Fig. 2).
Step 3. Join E and G. Produce EG to I such that GE = 4 cm. Using a protractor, draw a perpendicular line at I. Using a ruler, mark point J on the perpendicular line at I such that IJ = 4 cm. Join H and J. Erase extra lines in the figure. (Fig. 3).
Step 4. Fig. 3 is the required figure of three “falling squares” each of side 4 cm.
