Question

Construct AB of length 3.8 cm. Construct MN such that the length of MN is twice that of AB . Verify by measurement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Textbook solution

Use the compass to make the arcs of the MN and join the arcs to form the line. Determine the length of the MN by multiplying 3.8 by 3. ... Join the arcs to make the line. Use a ruler to measure the length of the line.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step 1: Draw the line segment AB with given measure

Step 2: With a radius, more than half of the length of AB cut arcs above and below the line segment AB, taking A and B as centers respectively

Step 3: Call the points where the arcs cut as C and D.

Step 4: CD is the required perpendicular bisector.
