Question

Draw a line segment of length 8.6 cm. Bisect it and measure the length of each part.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment AB of 86cm 
2. With center A and radius more than n `1/2` AB,draw arcs, 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
∴ AC =  BC = 4.3cm
