Steps:
Draw a line l and mark a point A on it.
Using compass and ruler, set the opening of the compass to 8.3 cm. With A as centre, draw an arc cutting line l at point B. Thus AB = 8.3 cm.
Now set the opening of the compass to 5.6 cm. With A as centre, draw another arc cutting AB at point C. Thus AC = 5.6 cm.
Measure BC using a ruler.

BC = AB − AC = 8.3 cm − 5.6 cm = 2.7 cm.
Hence, the length of = 2.7 cm.
