Question
Draw a line segment
A
B
=
8
c
m
.Draw
3
/
4
part of it measure the length of 3/4 part of
A
B
with picture
Open in App
Solution
A
B
=
8
c
m
and so
3
/
4
of
A
B
will be
(
3
/
4
)
×
8
c
m
=
6
c
m
.
Steps of construction:
1.
Draw a line segment
A
B
=
8
c
m
.
2.
Bisect the line segment
A
B
using compass and name the point as
O
.
3.
Now, bisect the line segment
A
O
using compass and name the point as
F
.
4.
F
B
is the required line that is
3
/
4
of
A
B
.
As,
O
F
=
1
/
4
of
A
B
as it is half of
A
O
and
O
B
=
1
/
2
of
A
B
.
So,
F
B
=
O
F
+
O
B
1
/
4
+
1
/
2
=
3
/
4
F
B
=
3
/
4
of
A
B
=
