(i) draw a line segment AB of length '8'cm
(ii) from point ‘A’ cut an arc of length '10' cm and mark that point as C.
(iii) from point B draw an angle of '90°', and join the arc from point A which cuts at point C.
(iv) now join AC and BC
(v) from point A draw an angle of '90°' and from point C cut an arc of length '8' cm to get point D.
