Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : to find the length of line segment

The divider is one of the basic mathematical instruments. Dividers consist of a joint pair of legs, each with a sharp point. 

• The divider is one of the oldest mathematical tools.
• Divider looks similar to the compasses with its V-shaped structure.
• It is used to measure, compare lengths, and find the length of the line segment.
• They could be used for geometric tasks including scribing circles.
• it has two sharp points, one for the center and the other for scribing or marking.

Thus, it is concluded that Divider is used to find the length of the line segment.
