​ Draw a line segment OP with certain length and mark a point Q on it. ​

Question

Draw a line segment \(\overline{OP}\) with certain length and mark a point Q on it. Check whether \(\overline{OP}\) - \(\overline{PQ}\) = \(\overline{OQ}\)

Answer 1

 Given, \(\overline{OP}\) = 8 cm; \(\overline{PQ}\) = 3 cm 

\(\overline{OP}\) - \(\overline{PQ}\) = 8cm – 3cm = 5 cm = \(\overline{OQ}\)

∴ \(\overline{OP}\) - \(\overline{PQ}\) = \(\overline{OQ}\) = 5cm
