Question

Draw the perpendicular bisector of seg AB = 5 cm.​

Answer 1

1. Draw a line segment AB = 5 cm.

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

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

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

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