Q2 of 805 Page 17

Draw a line segment AB of length 5.8 cm. Draw the perpendicular bisector of this line segment.

Steps of construction:


(i) Draw a line segment AB=5.8 cm.



(ii) Draw a circle with centre A with radius more than 1/2 AB.


Similarly, Draw a circle with centre B with same radius which intersect above circle at M and N respectively.
