Question

Draw$AB$ of length$7.3cm$ and find its axis of symmetry.

Answer 1

To construct of length $7.3cm$ and find its axis of symmetry the steps given below can be followed.

Step 1: Draw a line segment$AB$ of length $7.3cm$.

Step 2: Consider$A$ as centre and draw two arcs, one above and one below the line segment$AB$.

Step 3: Now, consider$B$ as centre and draw another two arcs using compasses with the same radius as before. Let it cut the previous arcs at points $C$ and$D$.

Step 4: Join $CD$.

The line $CD$ thus formed is the axis of symmetry for the line segment $AB$.
