2.

This diagram is a straightedge and compass construction of a square BACD (not all markings are shown). The construction followed these steps:
  1. Start with two marked points A and B
  2. Use a straightedge to construct line AB
  3. Use a previous construction to construct a line perpendicular to AB passing through A
  4. Use a previous construction to construct a line perpendicular to AB passing through B
  5. Use a compass to construct a circle centered at A passing through B
  6. Label an intersection point of that circle and the line from step 3 as C
  7. Use a previous construction to construct a line parallel to AB passing through C
  8. Label the intersection of that line and the line from step 4 as D
  9. Use a straightedge to construct the segments AC, CD, and DB

Explain why you need to construct a circle in step 5.
