Q9 of 805 Page 14

Draw any angle with vertex O. Take a point A on one of its arms and B on another such that OA = OB. Draw the perpendicular bisectors of and . Let them meet at P. Is PA = PB.

Step 1: Draw a horizontal line and another line inclined arbitrarily to it



Step 2: With O as centre draw a circle to cut OQ at A and OP at B



Step 3: Construct the perpendicular bisectors of OA and OB by constructing circles. Here only the bisector is shown to avoid conjestion.



Step 4: Measure PA and PB using a ruler to show that PA=PB.
