Q4 of 805 Page 14

Draw a line segment of length 12.8 cm. Using compasses, divide it into four equal parts. Verify by actual measurement.

Step 1: Draw a line segment of length 12.8cm using a ruler



Step 2: With A as centre and radius AB draw an arc. With B as a centre and same radius draw another arc. Draw a line through their point of intersections.



Step 3: With A as centre and radius AE draw an arc. With E as a centre and same radius draw another arc. Draw a line through their point of intersections



Step 4: With E as centre and radius EB draw an arc. With B as a centre and same radius draw another arc. Draw a line through their point of intersections



AJ, JE,EM,MB are 4 equal parts of AB


Step 5: Measure AJ,JE,EM,MB
