Question

On your paper, draw two segments roughly like those shown. Use these segments in Exercise $1-4$ to construct a segment having the indicated length. $a+2b$

Short answer

Draw $a+2b=$line-segment $a+$two times of length of line-segment $b.$

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information.

Two-line segments of lengths $a$ and $b$are given.

Step 2. Find the length.

Then, a segment of length $a+2b$ can be drawn by adding the length of the segment $a$and the segment $2b$.

The required length is,

$a+2b$

Step 3. Draw the line.

Now, Draw $a+2b$

Then $a+2b$will be as shown below,

Therefore, $a+2b=$Line-segment $a+$two times of length of line-segment $b$ as shown in the figure above.
