Question

3. Draw a line segment RS = 10 cm. Draw
its perpendicular bisector and measure
both the parts to check if they are equal
in length​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes the are equal in length

Answer 2

Answer:

Draw a line segment AB of length 10 cm and bisect it.

(i) With A as centre and radius more than half of AB, draw arcs on both sides of AB.

(ii) With the same radius and B as centre, draw arcs cutting the arcs of step (i) at P and Q, respectively.

(iii) Join P and Q. Line PQ intersects line AB at C.

(iv) With A as centre and radius more than half of AC, draw arcs on both sides of AB.

(v) With the same radius and C as centre, draw arcs cutting the arcs of step (iv) at R and S, respectively.

(vi) Join R and S.

Line RS intersects AC at D.

If we measure AD with the ruler, we have AD=2.5 cm.
