Answer
Draw a line L on the paper and mark a point A on it.
Take a compass and place its metal point at zero mark of the ruler.
Adjust the compass such that the pencil point is at 4.8cm mark on the ruler.
Now, take the compass to L such that its metal point is on point A.
Mark a small mark at B on L corresponding to the pencil point of the compass.
AB is the required line segment of 4.8cm.
