Consider the line segment PQ to construct the perpendicular bisector. Steps of Construction:

Step 1: Draw a line segment PQ.

Step 2: With P as centre, draw two arcs on either sides of PQ with radius more the half the length of the given line segment.

Step 3: Similarly draw two more arcs with same radius from point Q such that they intersect the previous arcs at R and * respectively.

Step 4: Join the points R and *.

RS is the required perpendicular bisector of the given line segment PQ.
