Question

that the length of PQ is twice that of AB.
10. Take a line segment PQ of length 10 cm. From PQ, cut off PA of length 4.3 cm
and BQ of length 2.5 cm. Measure the length of segment AB.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the length of line segment ab = 3.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Draw a line segment PQ = 10 cm

Step 2: Using compass width = 4.3 cm Taking P as center draw an arc intersecting PQ at A

Step 3: Using compass width = 2.5 cm Taking Q as center draw an arc intersecting PQ at B

Step 4: Measure AB using ruler

AB = 3.2 cm

PQ = PA + AB + BQ

=> 10 = 4.3 + AB + 2.5

=> 10 = 6.8 + AB

=> AB = 10 - 6.8

=> AB = 3.2 cm

the length of line segment ab = 3.2 cm
