Question

If we draw the perpendicular bisector of a 6.6 cm line segment,then each half will measure _cm. 

A) 1.2

B) 3.3

C) 3.2

D) None of these

​

Answer 1

3.3..................................

Answer 2

Answer: Steps of construction :

1) Draw a line segment AB = 7 cm by using a graduated ruler.

2) With A as centre and radius more than half of AB, draw arcs, one on each side of AB.

3) With B as centre and the same radius as in step 2, draw arcs cutting the arcs drawn in step 2 at E and F respectively.

4) Draw the line segment with E and F as end-points. Suppose it meets AB at M. Then, M bisects the line segment AB.

By measuring, AM=MB = 3.5 cm
