Question

6. Draw a circle with centre C and radius 3.4 cm. Draw any chord AB. Construct
the perpendicular bisector of AB and examine if it passes through C.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of construction:

(i) Draw a circle with centre C and radius 3.4 cm.

(ii) Draw any chord AB bar.

(iii) Taking A and B as centers and radius more than half of AB bar, draw two arcs which cut each other at P and Q.

(iv) Join PQ. Then PQ is the perpendicular bisector of AB bar.

(v) This perpendicular bisector of AB bar passes through the centre C of the circle
