                Step 2.  Read the measure on the scale at the other end. The reading gives the length
                           of the segment. Here, the length of the line segment is 7 cm.

                drawing a line Segment

                We use a sharp pencil and a ruler to draw a line segment of a given length.

                example 2. Draw a line segment of length 5 cm.
                Solution.
                Step 1.  Mark a fine dot with a pencil on a sheet of paper. Name it point A.
                                             A

                Step 2.  Place the scale along point A, and hold it firmly.

                                   A
                                                                                                   FP

                Step 3.  Draw a line segment of the required length, that is 5 cm.
                                   A

                                                                                                   FP

                Step 4.  Name the other end of the line segment, say point B.

                                                          A                   B

                            Exercise 7B

                    1.  Write the name and symbol for each of the following:

                                                                T                                          V
                                                                                 D            C
                        a.           P           b.                       c.                       d.
                                                        S
                                                                                                                      U
