Question
If AB = 7.5cm and CD = 2.5cm, construct a segment whose length is equal to:
AB - CD
AB - CD
✓
Answer
Given: AB= 7.5cm and CD = 2.5cm Draw AB and CD
Draw a line l and take a point E on it. Now, take a divider and open it such that ends of both the arms are at A and B. Then, we lift the divider and place its one end at E and other end (F) and on the line l as shown in figure. Now, reset the divider in such a way that the end of its one hand is at C and the end of the other hand is at D. Then, we lift the divider and place its one end at E and other end (G) on the line l as shown in the figure. FG is required line segment, whose length is equal to (AB - CD)
