Question

Construct line segments abcd of length 3.5cm and 4.2 cm respectively construct a line segments pq whose length is the sum of ab and cd

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps Of Construction :

1. Line segment AB=3.5cm is drawn

2. Line segment CD=4.2cm is drawn

3. Taking any point O not the line

segments, as centre and arc equal

to AB is drawn.

4. Similarly, taking O as centre

another arc equal to CD is drawn

on the opposite side of the

previous arc.

5. Now, draw line XY cutting the first

arc at P, passing through O and

cutting the second arc at Q.

6. Therefore PQ is the required line segment, which is equal to AB+CD.
