Draw a line segment of length \( 7.3 \mathrm{~cm} \) using a ruler.

To do:

We have to draw a line segment of length $7.3\ cm$ using a ruler.

Solution:

Steps of construction:

(i) First, mark a point '$X$' on a sheet.

(ii) Place the ruler's starting point on the marked point '$X$'.

(iii) Mark a point '$Y$' at the $7.3\ cm$ mark on the ruler on the sheet.

(iv) Join the points $X$ and $Y$.

(v) Therefore, $\overline{XY} = 7.3\ cm$ is formed.

(vi) Hence, the required line segment of length $7.3\ cm$ is obtained.
