Solution

The correct option is C 8 cm
Steps of construction:
Step 1: Draw line segment YZ = 5.5 cm.
Step 2: At Y, construct Y = 100°.
Step 3: With Y as centre, cut an arc of radius 5 cm and mark the point of intersection with the line as X.
Step 4: Join points X and Z.

From the above construction, measure the length of XZ using ruler.
