A 17. Square inscribed in a triangle

Given a triangle ABC with acute angles B and C, how do you construct a square PQRS with PQ in BC and vertices S and R in AB and AC, respectively?

I found this problem on Quora. It took me a while to solve it, but the construction turned out to be pretty simple and elegant.
