Solution

AB=8cm and so 3/4 of AB will be (3/4)×8cm=6cm. Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment AB=8cm.
2.Bisect the line segment AB using compass and name the point as O.
3. Now, bisect the line segment AO using compass and name the point as F.
4. FB is the required line that is 3/4 of AB.
As, OF=1/4 of AB as it is half of AO and OB=1/2 of AB.
So, FB=OF+OB
1/4+1/2=3/4
FB=3/4 of AB=6cm
