Question
Construct a line segment using ruler and compass.
AB = 7.5 cm
AB = 7.5 cm
✓
Answer
(i) Draw a line $l$ and mark a point $A$ on it.
(ii) Measure $7.5 cm$ using compass, placing the pointer at ' $O$ ' and the pencil pointer at $7.5 cm$
(iii) Place the pointer of the compass at A then draw a small arc on the line I with the pencil pointer.It cuts the line I at a point and names that point as B.
(iv) Now $\overline{ AB }$ is the required line segment of length $7.5 cm$
