Question
Mark two points A and B 5.5 cm apart. Draw a line PQ so that A and B are symmetric with respect to the line PQ. Give a special name to line PQ.
Solution
Steps of Construction:
Take points A and B 5.5 cm apart draw perpendicular bisect of the line segment AB. The perpendicular bisector PQ is the required line of symmetry with respect to A and B. PQ is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
