Question

draw a line segment XY of length 4.8cm using a ruler and compass. P a point on the line and Q is the point outside it. draw a perpendicular on XY at P and Q using a ruler and campass​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of Construction :

Draw a line segment PQ = 4.8 cm.

• With P as centre and radius equal than half of PQ, draw arc on both the PQ.
• With Q as centre and the same radius as taken in step 2, draw arcs on both sides of PQ.

Let the arcs intersect each other at point A and B

• Join A and B.
• The line AB cuts the line segment PQ at the point O. Here OP = OQ and ∠AOQ = 90°. Then the line AB is perpendicular bisector of PQ.
