bisect a 6cm line segment by using compass.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Steps of construction:
Step I - draw a line segment AB= 6 cm with the help of ruler.
Step II - With vertex A, by using compass take more than half of AB and draw arcs, one each side of side of AB.
Step III- With vertex B, by using compass with same length, cut the previous arcs at X and Y respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:
Steps of construction:
(i) Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm (ii) With centre A and radius more than 1/2(AB) draw the arcs
on each side of AB. (iii) With centr.
e B and same radius draw the arcs on each side of AB, which cuts the previously drawn arcs at X and Y. (iv) Join XY which cuts the line segment AB at O. Thus XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB. On measuring the two parts, we get AO = OB = 3 cm.Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/783271/draw-line-segment-length-construct-its-perpendicular-bisector-measure-parts-line-segment
