Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:1. Construct Horizontal HJ2. Construct a circle with point H as the center and a circle with point J as a center with each circle having radius HJ3.  Label the point of intersection of the two circles above HJ, point K, and the point of intersection of the two circles below HJ, point L4. Construct KL, the perpendicular bisector of HJ, intersecting HJ at point M5. Construct a circle with point M as the center with radius MJ6. Label the point of intersection of circle M and KL closest to point K, point N, and the point of intersection of circle M and KL closest to point L, point O7. Construct HN, HJ, JO, and OH to complete square HNJOStep-by-step explanation:I just took the test:) Hope this helps the next people in need!
