Question

Draw a line segment PQ of length 7 cm. Draw a line perpendicular to PQ at P. Mark a point X on PQ such that PX = 5 cm. Draw perpendicular bisectors of PX and PQ, and let them meet at a point Y. What figure do you obtain? Verify your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Draw segment PQ of length 7 cm.

2. Mark two arcs of same radius but greater than 3.5 cm from points P and Q respectively on both sides of PQ.

3. Join the intersection points of the arcs which will give the perpendicular bisector of PQ.
