Question

using a scale and a pair of compass , draw the line segments of length - 5.2 cm
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• Draw a straight line by using a scale.
• Mark a point on the centre of the line as 0.
• Take 1 cm of radius in pair of compass.
• Draw arcs of 1 cm on that line on both side of 0.
• Now , mark those arcs as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,......on the right side of the 0.
• Similarly, mark the arcs as -1, -2, -3, -4, -5,.......on the left side of the 0.
• Hence, the line segment from 0 to -5.2(between -5 and -6)
