Question

Draw a line segment of length 10 cm and bisect it. Further bisect one of the equal parts and measure its length.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

1. Draw a line segment AB of 10cm

2. With center A and radius more than AB/2 draw arcs one on each side of AB

3. With center B and same radius draw arcs cutting previous arcs at P and Q respectively.

4. Join PQ and which intersect AB at C

5. With center A and radius more than AC/2drawing on each side of AC.

6. With center C and same radius, draw arcs cutting previous arcs at R and * respectively.

7. Join RS and which intersect AC at b.

therefore AD =2.5cm.
