Q4 of 33 Page 278

Given of length 3.9 cm, construct such that the length of is twice that of . Verify by measurement.

Steps of Construction-

1. Draw a line segment AB of length 3.9 cm using a ruler.



2. Take a measure of it on compass and draw a point X.


3. Draw arcs on both sides of it and join them named as P and Q.


4. Measure PQ. PQ = 7.8 cm
