draw a line segment ab of length 7cm construct ad such that ad=1/4ab
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Step of Construction :
1. Draw a line segment AB=7cm
2. Draw a line from A making an acute angle with line segment AB.
3. Taking A as centre draw an arc cutting A
1
on the line.
And with the same radius consider A
1
as a centre and draw another arc cutting line at A
2
.
Repeat the same procedure an divide the line AX from A into 8 equal parts :
