Draw any line segment PQ. Take any point R not lying on it. Through R, draw a perpendicular to . (use a ruler and set square)

 3

Draw a line l and a point X on it. Through X, draw a line ssegment XY perpendicular to l.

Now draw a perpendicular to at Y. (use ruler and compasses)

Draw a line segment of length 9.5 cm and construct its perpendicular bisector.

 3

Draw the perpendicular bisector of whose length is 10.3 cm.

(a) Take any point P on the bisector drawn. Examine whether PX = PY.


(b) If M is the mid-point of, what can you say about the lengths MX and XY?
