Solution

Draw a line segment AB of length 5.8 cm using a ruler.
With A as centre and radius more than half of AB, draw arcs on both sides of AB. With the same radius and B as centre, draw arcs on both sides of AB, intersecting the previous arcs at L and M.
Draw the line segment LM with L and M as end-points.
LM is the required perpendicular bisector of AB.
