Question

With the same centre O, draw two circles of radii 4 cm and 2.5 cm.

Answer 1

The required circle can be drawn as follows.

1. First, open the compasses for the required radius 4 cm.
2. Mark a point ‘O’ where we want the centre of the circle to be.
3. Place the pointer of compasses on O.
4. Turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle.
5. Now, open the compasses for 2.5 cm.
6. Again put the pointer of the compasses on point ‘O’ and turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle.
