Answer 1

1. draw a line of 10 cm
2. open your compass more than half and make a arc from both sides of a line
3. where the arc cuts each other join the 2 points
4. your required figure is formed

Answer 2

Ram has a rectangular chocolate bar of 10 cm length. He divided it into two equal parts vertically along its length and gave one part to his friend Rahim.

• Steps of construction:
• Draw a line measuring 10 cm. (Ram has a rectangular chocolate bar of 10 cm length)
• Method I
• Using compass, with a measure of more than half of the line drawn, draw arcs from end points of the line.
• Draw a perpendicular line from a point where these 2 arcs intersect.
• Hence the required perpendicular bisector.
• Method II
• Mark a mid-point at 5 cm from one end of the line drawn.
• With the help of set square, draw a perpendicular line with the edge at 5 cm.
• Hence the required perpendicular bisector.
