Question

given pq= 8.9cm and rs=2.4cm, construct xy=pq-2rs.verify by measurement.

Answer 1

xy=pq and pq=8.9cm and rs=2.4cm so the equetion is 8.9-2(2.4)cm
=8.9-4.8cm=4.1cm

Answer 2

The line segment xy=pq-2rs=4.1 cm

Therefore the verified measurement is 4.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given pq and rs are line segments and also given that their measurements are pq=8.9 cm and rs=2.4 cm

To construct xy=pq-2rs and verify by measurement :

xy=pq-2rs

• Now substitute the values for in the given equation
• xy=8.9-2(2.4)
• xy=8.9-4.8
• xy=4.1

Therefore the line segment xy=4.1 cm

Therefore the verified measurement is 4.1 cm
