Solution

(1) Mark any point C on the sheet.

(2) By adjusting the compasses up to 3.4 cm and by putting the pointer of the compasses at point C, turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle. It is the required circle of 3.4 cm radius.

(3) Now, mark any chordin the circle.

(4) Taking A and B as centres, draw arcs on both sides of. Let these intersect each other at D and E.

(5) Join DE, which is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

Whenis extended, it will pass through point C.
