Solution
Steps of constructions:
- Draw seg AB of 5.5 cm.
- Place the compass point at A and taking a distance greater than half the length of seg AB, draw two arcs, one below and one above seg AB.
- Place the compass point at B and using the same distance draw arcs to intersect the previous arcs at P and Q.
- Draw line PQ.
