Question

how to draw a line segment of 9cm and bisect and divide it into parts with 6 3/4 cm 2 1/4 cm​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a line segment AB of length 9cm and bisect it.

(i) With A as centre and radius more than half of AB, draw arcs on both sides of AB.

(ii) With the same radius and B as centre, draw arcs cutting the arcs of step (i) at P and Q, respectively.

(iii) Join P and Q. Line PQ intersects line AB at C.

(iv) With A as centre and radius more than half of AC, draw arcs on both sides of AB.

(v) With the same radius and C as centre, draw arcs cutting the arcs of step (iv) at R and S, respectively.

(vi) Join R and S.

Line RS intersects AC at D.

If we measure AD with the ruler, we have AD=2.5 cm.
