In order to draw a square inscribed in a circle, we need to follow these steps:

*A diameter of the circle is drawn.

*A perpendicular bisector of the diameter is drawn using the method described in Perpendicular bisector of a segment. This is also a diameter of the circle.

*The resulting four points on the circle are the vertices of the inscribed square.

Therefore, the answer is:

Construct a perpendicular bisector to line AB
