Question

Draw `overline"AB"` of length 7.3 cm and find its axis of symmetry.

Answer 1

The below given steps will be followed to construct `overline"AB"` of length 7.3 cm and to find its axis of symmetry.

1. Draw a line segment `overline"AB"` of 7.3 cm.
   
2. Taking A as centre, draw a circle by using compasses. The radius of circle should be more than half the length of `overline"AB"`.
   

3. With the same radius as before, draw another circle using compasses while taking point B as centre. Let it cut the previous circle at C and D.
   

4. Join `overline"CD"`. `overline"CD"` is the axis of symmetry.
