Solution
Steps of construction :
(i) Draw a line segment AB = 8.6 cm.
(ii) With centres A and B, and radius more than half of AB, draw arcs which intersect each other at E and F, on both sides of AB.
(iii) Join EF which intersects AB at D.
D is the required mid point of AB.
Measuring each part, it is 4.3 cm long.
