Solution

Steps of construction :

(i) Draw an acute traingle PQR.(iI) Draw the perpendicular bisectors of sides PQ, QR and PR.(iii) Let them intersect at O in the interior of PQR.(iv) Name the points A, B and C where perpendicular bisectors intersect the sides.(v) Measure OA, OB and OC. We observe thatOA =OB =OCJustification :By perpendicular-bisector theorem, O is equidistant from P,Q and R.Thus, OA =OB =OC .
