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