Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of Construction :

1. Draw a line segment AB = 5 cm.

1. Draw a line segment AB = 5 cm. 2. Draw any ray AX making an acute angle down ward with AB.

1. Draw a line segment AB = 5 cm. 2. Draw any ray AX making an acute angle down ward with AB. 3. Mark the points A1,A2,A3,...............A10 on AX such that AA1 = A1A2 = .....= A9A10.
