Question
Repeat Question 6, if `overline"AB"` happens to be a diameter.
Solution
- Mark any point C on the sheet.
- By adjusting the compasses up to 3.4 cm and by putting the pointer of the compasses at point C, turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle. It is the required circle of 3.4 cm radius.
- Mark any diameter `overline"AB"` in the circle.
-
Now, taking A and B as centres, draw arcs on both sides of `overline"AB"` taking radius more than `overline"AB"`. Let these intersect each other at D and E.
- Join DE, which is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
It can be observed that `overline"DE"` is passing through the centre C of the circle.
