Step 1: Draw AB=10 cm
Step 2: Draw a ray AL such that AL does not coincide with AB.
Step 3: Mark six equal line segments AC, CD,DE,EF, FG and GH on ray AL with convenient length, using a compass.
Step 4: Join HB.
Step 5: Draw lines parallel to HB through the points C,D,E,F and G intersecting the line segment AB at P,Q,R,S and T respectively. The line segment AP,PQ, QR, RS, ST and TB are the required six equal parts of the line segment AB (see fig.)
