Question

draw a line segment of 10cm and divide it into four equal parts using compass and scale also write the steps​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of construction:

Step I - draw a line segment AB = 10 cm with the help of a ruler.

Step II - With vertex A, by using compass take more than half of AB and draw arcs, one each side of sides of AB

Step III - With vertex B, by using a compass and with the same radius cut the previous arcs on both sides of AB at R and S respectively. Join RS.

Mark the point O on AB where RS intersects it.

Step IV - With vertex A, by using compass take more than half of AO and draw arcs, one each side of sides of AO

Step V - With vertex O, by using a compass and with same radius cut the previous arcs on both sides of AO at P and Q respectively. Join PQ.

Mark the point M on AB where PQ intersects it.

Step VI - With vertex O, by using compass take more than half of OB and draw arcs, one each side of sides of OB

Step VII - With vertex B, by using a compass and with the same radius cut the previous arcs on both sides of OB at T and U respectively. Join TU.

Mark the point N on AB where TU intersects it.

Each part measures +2.5 cm
