Question

If a line segment of length 6.8cm is divided into four equal parts by constructing the perpendicar bisectors, then find the length of each part.​

Answer 1

Answer:

perpendicular bisector means half or equal part that is 6.8 will be halved so 3.4 will be the length of each part

Answer 2

The length of each part is  1.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of a line segment = 6.8 cm

If we construct a perpendicular bisector then line segment will become 2 part.

Length of each part = $\frac{6.8}{2} = 3.4 cm$

Again we construct a perpendicular bisector then each 3.4 cm line segments will become 2 parts.

That means total 2 + 2 = 4 equal parts.

Length of each line segment = $\frac{3.4}{2}= 1.7 cm$

So, total four equal parts = 1.7 + 1.7 + 1.7 + 1.7 = 6.8 cm

Hence, the length of each part is  1.7 cm
