Steps of construction:

1. Draw a line segment AB = 5 cm.

2. Draw ∠BAZ = 60°.

3. With centre A and radius 7 cm, draw an arc cutting the line AZ at C.

4. Draw a ray AX, making an acute ∠BAX.

5. Divide AX into four equal parts, namely AA= A1A2 = A2A3 = A3A4. 

6. Join A4B.

7. Draw A3P || A4B meeting AB at P.

8. Hence, we obtain, P is the point on AB such that AP = ¾ AB.

9. Next, draw a ray AY, such that it makes an acute ∠CAY.

10. Divide AY into four parts, namely AB1 = B1B= B2B3 = B3B4.

11. Join B4C.

12. Draw B1Q || B4C meeting AC at Q. We get, Q is the point on AC such that AQ = ¼ AC.

13.   Join PQ and measure it.

14.   PQ = 3.25 cm.
