With the same centre $ O $, draw two circles of radii $ 4 \mathrm{~cm} $ and $ 2.5 \mathrm{~cm} $.
To do:
We have to draw two circles of radii $4\ cm$ and $2.5\ cm$.
Solution:
Steps of construction:
(i) To draw the circles of radii $4\ cm$ and $2.5\ cm$, take compasses and first measure $2.5\ cm$ by using a ruler.
(ii) Mark a point '$O$' for the centre.
(iii) On the point '$O$' place the pointer of the compasses.
(iv) Turn the compasses and draw the circle.
(v) Hence, the required circle of radius $2.5\ cm$ with centre $O$ is obtained.
(vi) Now, measure $4\ cm$ by using a ruler with the compasses.
(vii) Place the pointer of the compasses measuring $4\ cm$ on the point '$O$' and turn the compasses to draw another circle.
(viii) Hence, the required circle of radius $4\ cm$ with centre $O$ is obtained.
(ix) Therefore, two circles of radii $4\ cm$ and $2.5\ cm$ with centre $O$ are as shown in the figure.
