Question

Draw a line segment of given length and construct a perpendicular bisector to each
line segment using scale and compass.
(a) 8 cm ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 8 cm Construction : Step 1: Drawn a line. Marked two points A and B on it so that AB = 8 cm Step 2: Using compass with A as centre and radius more than half of the length of AB, drawn two arcs of the same length one above AB and one below AB Step 3: With the same radius and B as centre drawn two arcs to cut the arcs drawn in step 2. Marked the points of intersection of the arcs as C and D. Step 4: Joined C and D, CD intersect AB. Marked the point of intersection as ‘O’. CD is the required perpendicular bisector of AB. segment-given-length-construct-perpendicular-bisector-each-segment-using-scale-compass
