Question

draw a line segment PQ=5.8 cm and construct its perpendicular bisector using ruler and compasses​

Answer 1

Answer:

draw a 5.3 cm long line segment by measuring through scale.

then draw a straight line at any point then measure does the angle make 90 degree or not if not correct it as it measure 90 degree .

Answer 2

$\dashrightarrow$ Steps :-

• First, draw a line segment PQ of 5.8 cm as said in the question.
• Next, take a compass and keep it's tip on the point P and take the measurement of approximately more than half of the drawn line segment and draw an arc above and also below the line segment.
• Again, take a compass and keep it's tip on the point Q and draw an arc on top and also one at the bottom. The measurement of compass shouldn't be changed.
• Now, we have obtained with two points by drawing the arcs. Join those both points.
• Finally, the perpendicular bisector is constructed.

$\dashrightarrow$ Instruments used :-

• Ruler :- The ruler should always be in use for construction, because it results in a straight line and the measurements should always be as per to the question.
• Compass :- The compass is used to draw the arcs by taking the actual measurements. If the measurement will be wrong in compass, the construction may get wrong.
