Question

Draw a line segment AB = 5.4 cm. Construct a perpendicular to it passing
through point O on the segment using a ruler and a compass.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Draw a line segment AB = 5 cm.

2. With any radius greater than 2.5 cm, and compass fixed at A, draw 2 arcs, one above and one below AB.

3. With the same radius, compass at B, cut the 2 arcs drawn in step 2.

4. The line joining these two arcs is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

i.e. CD is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Draw a straight line AB of 5.4 cm.
2. place the end of the compass at point A .
3. Take an more than half distance on compass
4. Then , draw the arc at the top and bottom of the straight line .
5. and again place the end of compass at point B and draw an arc on both side .
6. Then draw an intersection line between this two arc .
7. so , this is our perpendicular bisector.
