Question

Draw a line segment AB of length 8.5 cm.
On this segment, cut off the following and label
the points correctly.
AC = 2.2 cm; CD = 1.2 cm; DE = 5.1 cm please do and give a photo​

Answer 1

Steps of construction

1. Draw a line segment XY of length 8.5 cm.

2. With the help of compass, from point X , mark arc on segment X Y at a distance of 4.8 cm, such that X Z= 4.8 cm.

3. With the help of divider, measure the length of Y Z. You will find Y Z= 3.7 cm.

As, X,Y and Z are Collinear.

XY= 8.5 cm

XZ= 4.8 cm

YZ= 3.7 cm

→ X Z +Y Z

= 4.8 +3.7

= 8.5 cm

= X Y

Hence proved.
