AB and CD are two intersecting lines. Find the position of a point which is at a distance of 2 cm from AB and 1.6 cm from CD.
AB and CD are two intersecting lines. Find the position of a point which is at a distance of 2 cm from AB and 1.6 cm from CD.

Following are the steps of construction:

(i) AB and CD are two intersecting lines which intersect each other at the point O.

(ii) Construct a line EF which is parallel to AB and GH which is parallel to CD intersecting each other at the point P.

Therefore,

P is the required point.
