           SUBTOPICS: Construction of a line segment
           HOME ASSIGNMENT: (NCERT, EX-14.2, 14.3)
               1)  Draw a line segment of length 7.3 cm using a ruler.
               2)  Construct a line segment of length 5.6 cm using ruler and compasses.

               3)  Construct AB of length 7.8 cm. From this, cut off AC of length 4.7 cm. Measure BC.

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

               5)  (Hint : Construct PX such that length of PX = length of AB; then cut off XQ such that XQ

                  also has the length of AB.)
               6)  Given AB of length 7.3 cm and CD of length 3.4 cm, construct a line segment XY such

                  that the length of XY is equal to the difference between the lengths of AB and CD. Verify
                  by measurement.

               7)  Draw any line segment PQ. Without measuring PQ, construct a copy of PQ.
               8)  Given some line segment AB, whose length you do not know, construct PQ

               9)  such that the length of PQ is twice that of AB.
