Steps given are to draw an involute of a given square ABCD. Arrange the steps. i. With B as centre and radius BP1 (BA+ AD) draw an arc to cut the line CB-produced at P2. ii. The curve thus obtained is the involute of the square. iii. With centre A and radius AD, draw an arc to cut the line BA-produced at a point P1. iv. Similarly, with centres C and D and radii CP2 and DP3 respectively, draw arcs to cut DC-produced at P3 and AD-produced at P4.

Geometrical Construction topics include: Parallel & perpendicular lines construction, drawing regular polygons and tangents, ellipse construction, parabola and hyperbola construction, cycloidal curves and spiral construction. Geometric construction is the process of creating geometric objects using a compass and a straightedge. It is a part of pure geometry, which does not use numbers, formulae, or a coordinate system.  Geometric construction involves drawing lines, line segments, shapes, circles, and other figures accurately using a ruler, a compass, or a protractor.  Related...
