✓
Answer
$i.\ $Draw a line segment $\overline {A B}$ of length $9.5\ cm.$
$ii.\ $With $A$ as centre, using compasses, draw a circle. The radius of this circle should be more than half of the length of $\overline {A B}$ .
$iii.\ $With the same radius and with $B$ as centre, draw another circle using compasses. Let it cut the previous circle at $C$ and $D$.
$iv.\ $Join $CD$. Then $\overline {CD}$ is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment $\overline {A B}$ .
