Answer 1

$\Large{\red{\underline{\underline{\tt{AnSweR:}}}}}$

$Steps$

Step 1: first draw line segment AB=9cm

Step 2: draw a ray AX making an acute angle ∠BAX=60 with AB

Step 3: draw a ray BY parallel to AX by making an acute angle ∠ABY=∠BAX

Step 4: mark points A1,A2,A3,A4 on AX, 4 points B1,B2,B3 on BY

Step 5: Join A4B3
