Question

With $\mathrm{PQ}$ of length $6.1\mathrm{cm}$ as diameter, draw a circle.

Answer 1

Construct a circle with given line.

Step 1: Draw a line segment $\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}=6.1\mathrm{cm}$

Step 2: Consider $\mathrm{P}$ as centre and take radius more than half of $\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}$, draw a circle.

Step 3: Again with same radius and $\mathrm{Q}$ as centre, draw two arcs intersecting the circle at points $\mathrm{R}$ and $\mathrm{S}$.

Step 4: Join $\mathrm{R}$ and $\mathrm{S}$ which intersects $\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}$ at $\mathrm{T}$.

Step 5: Considering the centre as $\mathrm{T}$ and radius $\mathrm{TP}$, draw a circle which passes through $\mathrm{Q}$.

The required circle is;

Hence, the required circle is drawn above.
