Question
Draw a line segment $AB = 5.6\ cm.$ Draw the right bisector of $AB.$
✓
Answer
Steps for construction:
$1.$Draw a line segment $AB,$ which is equal to $5.6\ cm.$
$2.$With $A$ as the centre and radius more than half of $AB,$ draw arcs, one on each side of $AB.$
$3.$With $B$ as the centre and the same radius as before, draw arcs cutting the perviously drawn arcs at $M$ and $N,$ respectively.
$4.$Draw $MN,$ meeting $AB$ at $R.$
