Given: PQ=7 cmTo construct: PR=RQ=12PQSteps of construction:1
 Draw a line segment PQ of length 7 cm
2
 With P as centre and using compass, draw two arcs of radius more than half the length of PQ on opposite sides of PQ
3
 Again, with Q as centre, draw another pair of arcs to cut the arcs of step 2 at points A and B
4
 Join points A and B to intersect PQ at point R
Thus, PR and RQ are the line segment of length 12PQ
The length of each part PR and RQ is 72 cm=3
5 cm
