Solution
Steps for construction: 1. Draw a line segment PQ, which is equal 6.2 cm. 2. With P as the centre and radius more than half of PQ, draw arcs, one on each side of PQ. 3. With Q as the centre and the same radius as before, draw arcs cutting the perviously drawn arcs at A and B, respectively. 4. Draw AB, meeting PQ at R.
