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?

Step 1: Draw line segment XY using a ruler

Step 2: With X as center and radius XY draw a circle. With Y as a center and same radius draw another circle. Join the point of intersections

Step 3: Take any point P on CD. Join PX and PY.Measure PX and PY and show they are equal and is equal to 8cm.

Step 4: Measure MX and XY using a ruler

MX=5.15

XY=10.3

XY=2MX
