Question

Draw a line segment of length 8.6 cm. Bisect it and measure the length of each part.

Answer 1

Draw a line segment AB of length 8.6 cm.
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 the both sides of AB, cutting the previous two arcs at E and F. Draw a line segment from E to F intersecting AB at C.
On measuring AC and BC, we get:
AC = BC = 4.3 cm
