Question

Draw a line segment pq=7cm and locate a point r on it pq such as that pr=3/4

Answer 1

steps of construction:

1)draw a line segment pq of 7 cm.
2)now keep the compass on point p and open it more than half the length of segment.
3)draw arc on both the side of the segment.
4)now keep the compass on point q with the same length and cut the arcs on both the side and join these points.
5)let this point where this bisector meets the segment pq be s.
6)now again keep the compass on point p open it more than half the length of ps and mark arc on both the side of segment.
7)keep the compass on point s with same length and cut the arc on both the side.
8)join these point.
9)the point where this bisector meets the segment be r.
hence r is the required point.
