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