Draw a circle of radius 6 cm, using ruler and compass. Draw one of its diameters. Draw the perpendicular bisector of this diameter. Does this perpendicular bisector contain another diameter of the circle?

Answer:

To draw a circle, we use the following steps of construction:

Step I: Firstly, draw a circle of radius 6 cm with the help of ruler and compasses.

Step II: Draw a diameter of 12 cm length in circle.

Step III: Place the compasses pointer at points A and B and draw an arc at A? and B?, Join A? B? which intersects at P point of diameter.

Thus, A? B? is perpendicular of line segment AB.

Hence, the same circle is also drawn by same length of diameter A? B?.
