Question
If AB = 7.5cm and CD = 2.5cm, construct a segment whose length is equal to:
AB + CD

Answer

Given: AB= 7.5cm and CD = 2.5cm Draw AB and CD
We draw a line l and take a point E on it. Now, take a divider and open it such that the ends of both its arms are A and B. The, we lift the divider end (F) on the line l, as shown in the 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 F and another end (G) on the line l opposite to E as shown in the figure. EG is required line segment, whose length is equal to (AB + CD)
