Question

Construct a line segment AB =5.6 cm. From this cut off AC of length 2.4 cm. Draw a
perpendicular bisector of the line segment AC.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

Construct a line segment AB=5.6 cm

Considering A as centre and radius more than half of line segment AB, draw two arcs on the each side of the line segment AB

Considering B as centre and radius more than half of line segment AB, draw arcs which cuts the previous arcs at the point P and Q

Join the points PQ such that it intersects the line segment AB at the point M

Therefore, PQ is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB.

So the length of each part is AM=BM=2.8 cm
