Question

Draw a line segment AB of length 5.8 cm. Draw the perpendicular bisector of this line
segment.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

1. Draw a line segment AB of 5.8cm

2. With center A and radius more than `1/2` AB draw arcs with one on each side of AB

3. With center B and same radius draw arcs cutting the previous arcs at P and Q
respectively.

4. Join PQ
Hence, PQ is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
