Answer:
The perpendicular bisector of PQ passes through centre O.
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
Given , a circle of radius 3.5cm
and a chord PQ.
Step1:
Draw a circle with centre O as centre of radius 3.5cm
Now draw a chord PQ of the circle .
Take P as centre ,using compass draw an arc with radius more than the half of the length of PQ
Take Q as centre , draw an arc which cut the previous arc with same radius
Now, plot A andB at the intersecting point of the arc .
Step2:
Join the point A and B .
Here we see that the line AB cut the chord PQ
Therefore AB is the perpendicular bisector of PQ and also the perpendicular bisector AB passes through the centre O of the circle .
Final answer:
Hence , the perpendicular bisector of chord PQ passes through centre O
