The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Construct Triangle ABC**: - Draw a line segment AB = 5.6 cm. - Label the endpoints as A and B. 2. **Construct Arcs to Find Point C**: - Using a compass, set the radius to 9.2 cm. - With center A, draw an arc above and below line AB. - Without changing the compass width, place the compass at point B and draw another arc that intersects the first arc. - Label the intersection point as C. 3. **Join Points to Form Triangle ABC**: - Draw line segments AC and BC to complete triangle ABC. 4. **Draw Parallel Lines to BC**: - Measure 2 cm from line BC and draw two parallel lines (one above and one below BC). Label these lines as M and N. 5. **Construct the Angle Bisector of ∠BAC**: - Using a compass and straightedge, construct the angle bisector of angle BAC. This will divide the angle into two equal parts. 6. **Identify Points P and Q**: - Extend the angle bisector until it intersects line M at point P and line N at point Q. 7. **Measure the Distance between Points P and Q**: - Use a ruler to measure the distance PQ. This is the distance between the two points obtained. ### Final Result: - The distance between points P and Q is found to be 4 cm.
