Answer 1

Step 1 : draw draw a line of 5cm and mark AB.

Step 2 : draw a line AX making an acute angle with AB.

Step 3 : locate 3 points A1, A2, A3, ( as 3 is greater in 2 and 3 ) on line AX such that AA1= A1A2=A2A3.

Step 4 : join BA3 and draw a line parallel to line BC to intersect AC at C'.

Step 5: draw a line through B' Parallel to BD to intersect AC at C' .
