Long Answer Type
1. Draw a line segment AB = 10 cm.
2. Taking A and B as centres and radius more than 
AB, draw arcs on both sides of the line segment AB (to intersect each other).
3. Let these arcs intersect each other at P and Q. Join PQ.
4. Let PQ intersect AB at the point M.
5. Taking A and M as centres and radius more than 
AM, draw arcs on both sides of the line segment AM (to intersect each other).
6. Let these arcs intersect each other at C and D. Join CD.
7. Let CD intersect AM at the point E.
8. Taking M and B as centres and radius more than 
MB, draw arcs on both sides of the line segment MB (to intersect each other).
9. Let these arcs intersect each other at F and G Join FG.
10. Let FG intersect MB at H.
Then, AE = EM = MH = HB, i.e., AE, EM, MH and HB are the four equal parts. By measurement,
AE = EM = MH = HB = 2.5 cm
