Solution
The correct option is B 3.1 cm
Step 1: Line segment AB of length 7.8 cm has been constructed.
Step 2: Now, if we draw an arc of radius 4.7 cm, taking A as the centre, the arc intersects the segment AB at point C.
Therefore, The length of AB is 7.8 cm. Since points A, B and C lie on the same line, we can subtract the length of AC from that of AB to find the value of BC.
Hence, BC = AB - AC = 7.8 - 4.7 = 3.1 cm Therefore, the measure of BC is 3.1 cm.
