Question
If $AB = 7.5\ cm$ and $CD = 2.5\ cm$, construct a segment whose length is equal to: $2AB$
✓
Answer
Given: $AB= 7.5\ cm$ and $CD = 2.5\ cm$ Draw $AB$ and $CD$
Draw a line $l$ and take a point $E$ on it. Now a take a divider and open it such that the ends of both its arms are at $A$ and $B$.
Then, we lift the divider and place its one end at $E$ and other end (say $F$) on the line $l$ as shown in the figure.
Again, lift the divider and place its one end $F$ and other end on the line $l$, opposite to $E$. Let this point be $G$.
$EG$ is required line segment, whose length is equal to $2AB.$
