Question

draw a line segment of length 8.4 CM. bisect it and measure the length of both the parts

Answer 1

the line will be of 4.2cm on both the sides

Answer 2

Refer to the above attachment :)

Construction :

• Draw a line segment AB= 8.4 cm .

• Mark an arc from point A such that it must be bigger than 4.2 cm .

• Do the same from point B.

• Then draw a line segment from the mid of the arcs .

• Where the line segment intersects AB , mark a point C .

• Hence AB is bisected into two equal parts AC and CB each = 4.2 cm .
