Question

Draw a line segment $PQ=6.2cm$. Draw the perpendicular bisector of $PQ$.

Answer 1

To draw a perpendicular bisector of $PQ$ follow the below steps:

$\Rightarrow$ Draw a line of length $6.2cm$ and name the segment as $PQ.$

$\Rightarrow$ Now take a compass and measure any length greater than half the length of the segment.

$\Rightarrow$ Now, place the compass on any point $P$ or $Q$ and draw one arc above the segment and one below the segment.

$\Rightarrow$ Now measuring the same length in the compass, mark same arc intersecting the arc from other end of the segment.

$\Rightarrow$ Draw $AB$ meeting $PQ$ at $R.$
