Question

Draw a line segment of length 6.8 cm using a ruler. Construct another line segment of the
same length using a ruler and compass.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Draw a line AB=6.8cm. Taking A as center, and radius more than 21​AB,draw arcs on top and bottom of AB

2.Taking A as center, and radius as before,draw arcs on top and bottom of AB

3.Let the point where arcs intersect on top of AB be P.And the point where arcs intersect at the bottom be Q.Join PQ

4.Let PQ intersect AB at the point M.

Thus, line PMQ is the required perpendicular bisector of AB

Answer 2

Answer:

1.Draw a line AB=6.8cm. Taking A as center, and radius more than 1/2 AB,draw arcs on top and bottom of AB

2.Taking A as center, and radius as before,draw arcs on top and bottom of AB

3.Let the point where arcs intersect on top of AB be P.And the point where arcs intersect at the bottom be Q.Join PQ

4.Let PQ intersect AB at the point M.

Thus, line PMQ is the required perpendicular bisector of AB.
