Question

With the same centre $O$, draw two circles of radii $4\mathrm{cm}$ and $2.5\mathrm{cm}$.

Answer 1

Steps of construction.

• At first open the compasses up to $4\mathrm{cm}$ using the scale.
• Mark the point $O$, as the centre of the circle
• Place a pointer of compasses on the point $O$,
• Then, turn the compasses slowly to draw the required circle.
• Open the compasses for $2.5\mathrm{cm}$ using the scale.
• Again place a pointer of compasses on $O$, and turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle.
