✓
Answer
Steps for construction:
$i.\ $Draw a line segment $AB = 5.6\ cm.$
$ii.\ $With $A$ as the centre and radius more than half of $AB$, draw arcs, one on each side of $AB.$
$iii.\ $With $B$ as the centre and the same radius as before, draw arcs cutting the perviously drawn arcs at $P$ and $Q,$ respectively.
$iv.\ $Draw $PQ$, meeting $AB$ at $R.$
