उत्तर

Construction:
Step 1: Drawn a line and marked two points A and B on it so that AB = 5.6 cm
Step 2: Using compass with A as centre and radius more than half of the length of AB, drawn two arcs of the same length, one above AB and one below AB
Step 3: With the same radius and B as centre drawn two arcs to cut the arcs drawn in step 2 and marked the points of intersection of the arcs as C and D
Step 4: Joined C and D. CD intersects AB. Marked the point of intersection as ‘O’.
CD is the required perpendicular bisector of AB.
Now ∠AOC = 90°
AO = BO
= 2.8 cm
