Question 805223: suppose you are given a square with an area of 10 square centimeters and asked if you can use the construction method to eventually construct a square with an area of640 sq cm? Can you do it, how? How many repetitions of the basic construction will you require? Are there any steps in the process you may leave out for speed things up, if so why?
