Question

1. Draw a line segment BC = 4.8 cm and draw a perpendicular to it from a point D outside BC by using
ruler and compasses.​

Answer 1

Answer:Draw a line segment BC = 4.8 cm.

With B as centre and radius equal than half of BC, draw arc on both the BC.

With C as centre and the same radius as taken in step 2, draw arcs on both sides of BC.

Let the arcs intersect each other at point A and B

Join A and D.

The line AB cuts the line segment BC at the point O. Here OB = OC and ∠AOC = 90°. Then the line AD is perpendicular bisector of BC.
