Question

Draw a line segment AB of length 6 cm. Using ruler and compasses obtain the line segments of length equal to 1. 1/2AB 2. 1/4AB​

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

1. Draw a line segment AB=6cm

2. Make any acute angle at A. i.e. ∠CAB

3. Starting from A as centre and any convenient radius set off 6 equal distances.

4. Join 6th arc to B.

5. Then we will draw line segment PM and QN parallel to OB.

Hence AN:NM:MB=1:2:3
