Draw a line segment of length 9.5 cm and construct its perpendicular bisector.

Answer:

                To construct the perpendicular bisector, we use the following steps: Step I Draw a line segment \[S\to \] of length 9.5 cm. Step II With A as centre and radius more than half of \[Y\to \] draw a circle. Step III With B as centre and same radius draw another circle which intersects the first circle at C and D, respectively. Step IV Join CD, which intersects \[M\to \] at O. Then,\[E\to \] is the required perpendicular bisector of \[T\to \].
