Draw a line segment of length 10 cm and bisect it. Further bisect one of the equal parts and measure its length.
Length of line = 2.5 cm
Steps of construction:
Draw a line with a scale of 10 cm and name it AB.
From point A or point B with half the scale of line AB draw an arc and mark it as M.
From point M with half the scale of BM or AM draw an arc and mark it as N.
Hence the required construction.
Calculation:
Consider the figure while going through the below calculations.
AB = 10 cm
M is the mid-point of AB = AB/2 = 10/2 = 5 cm
N is the mid-point of MB = MB/2 = 5/2 = 2.5 cm
Hence the length of the line.
