Given AB of length 3.9 cm, construct PQ such that the length of PQ is twice that of AB. Verify by measurement

(Hint : Construct PX such that the length of PX= length of AB; then cut off XQ such that XQ also has the length of AB.)

Solution:

With the help of a ruler and a compass, we can draw a line segment by following steps:

Steps of construction:

Step 1: Draw a line l of suitable length and mark a point P on it.

Step 2: Draw the given line segment AB of 3.9 cm.

Step.3: Open the compasses up to the length of AB, from point P draw an arc to cut the line at X.

Step 4: Similarly, place the pointer of a compass on point X, draw an arc that cuts line l at point Q.

PQ is the required line segment.

With the help of a ruler, we can measure the length of PQ. It will measure 7.8 cm.

Given AB of length 3.9 cm, construct PQ such that the length of PQ is twice that of AB. Verify by measurement. (Hint : Construct PX such that the length of PX= length of AB; then cut off XQ such that XQ also has the length of AB.)

Summary:

PQ is the required length which comes 7.8 cm. As, it it was given that the length of PQ is twice that of length AB.
