KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Steps: 1. Draw a line segment PQ of length 10 cm using ruler and compass. 2. With P as centre and radius 4.3 cm, draw an arc cutting PQ at point A. So, PA = 4.3 cm. 3. With Q as centre and radius 2.5 cm, draw an arc cutting PQ at point B. So, BQ = 2.5 cm. 4. Measure the length of segment AB using a ruler. AB = PQ PA BQ = 10 cm 4.3 cm 2.5 cm = 3.2 cm. Hence, the length of line segment = 3.2 cm.
