Q1 of 805 Page 17

Draw a line segment of length 8.6 cm. Bisect it and measure the length of each part.

Steps of construction:


(i) Draw a line segment AB=8.6 cm.



(ii) Draw a circle with centre A with radius 1/2 AB on upper and lower side of AB.


Similarly, Draw a circle with centre B with radius 1/2 AB on upper and lower side of AB which intersect above a circle at M and N respectively.

(iii) Draw line segment MN which intersect AB at point O.

On measuring,


AO=BO=1/2 AB=4.3
