Question

Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm. Take a point C on AB such taht AC = 2.5 cm. Draw CD perpendicular to AB.

Answer 1

Steps of constructions

1. Draw a line segment AB, which is equal to 6 cm.
2. Take a point C on AB such that AC is equal to 2.5 cm.
3. With C as the centre, draw an arc cutting AB at M and N.
4. With M as the centre and radius more than half of MN, draw an arc.
5. With N as the centre and the same radius as before, draw another arc cutting the perviously drawn arc at S.
6. Draw SC and produce it to D.
