Solution

Each steps: 1 Mark

Step 1: Draw a line l. Mark a point A on the line.



Step 2: Place the compass pointer on the zero mark of the ruler. Open it to place the pencil point up to the 5.6 cm mark.

Step 3: Taking caution that the opening of the compass has not changed the measured length, place the pointer on A and swing an arc to cut l at B.

Step 4: AB is a line segment of the required length.
