Question
Draw a line 8.4 cm and divide it into four parts using a compass. [4 MARKS]
Answer:
:
Steps: 2 Marks
Construction: 2 Marks
i) Draw a line segment XY of length 8.4 cm.
ii) Draw a circle, while taking point X as centre and radius more than half of XY.
iii) With same radius and taking thecentre as Y, again draw arcs to cut the circle at A and B. Join AB whichintersects XY at M.
iv) Taking X and Y as centres. Draw two circles more than half of XM.
v)With same radius and taking M as thecentre, draw arcs to intersect these circles at P,Q, R and S.
vi) Join PQ and RS. These are intersecting XY at T and U.
vii) Now XT = TM = MU = UY. These are 4 equal parts of XY.
