Question

draw a line segment PQ of length 5 cm.draw its perpendicular bisector by using compass.​

Answer 1

1. Draw a line segment PQ = 5 cm.

2. With any radius greater than 2.5 cm, and compass fixed at P, draw 2 arcs, one above and one below PQ.

3. With the same radius, compass at Q, cut the 2 arcs drawn in step 2.

4. The line joining these two arcs is the perpendicular bisector of PQ.

i.e. CD is the perpendicular bisector of PQ.
