Question
With the same centre O, draw two circles of radii 4 cm and 2.5 cm.
Solution
The required circle can be drawn as follows.
- First, open the compasses for the required radius 4 cm.
- Mark a point ‘O’ where we want the centre of the circle to be.
- Place the pointer of compasses on O.
- Turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle.
- Now, open the compasses for 2.5 cm.
- Again put the pointer of the compasses on point ‘O’ and turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle.
