Question

If AB=7.5cm and cD=2.5cm
construct a
segment whose length
is
equal to AB+ CD.​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is given that AB=7.5 cm and CD=2.5 cm

Draw AB and CD as shown in the above image.

Draw a line l and take a point E on it.

Now, take a divider and open it such that ends of both the arms are at A and B. Then, we lift the divider and place its one end at E and other end (F) and on the line l as shown in figure. Now, reset the divider in such a way that the end of its one hand is at C and the end of the other hand is at D. Then, we lift the divider and place its one end at E and other end (G) on the line l as shown in the figure. FG is required line segment, whose length is equal to (AB–CD)
