Question

Given a line segment SR of 2.5 cm. Construct a line segment PT of 2 cm parallel to SR.

Answer 1

$Steps$ $of$ $construction:$

$Step1:$ Draw the Base line $SR$ of $2.5cm$

$Step2:$ With S as center Draw a perpendicular Ray of $6cm$

$Step3:$ Join the end point of ray (say $X$) and $R$

$Step4:$ With $S$ as center and radius $1.2cm$ draw an arc on the ray .Mark the point as $P$

$Step5:$With $R$ as radius Draw an arc of radius $1.3cm$ on the line $RX$.Mark it as $T$

$Step6:$ Join $P,T$
