Answer:
To draw a line segment using compass and ruler, take the scale and keep the needle of the compass on 0cm and the pencil on the required point (say 4.2cm) now, draw a line measuring any length but more than the required length and draw two arrows at both sides. Mark a point on the line any name it (say A). Take the compass and keep it on the point and mark an arc through the line. Mark a point where the ark cuts the line and name it (Say B). You have made a line segment using ruler and compass.
