The below given steps will be followed to construct of length 7.3 cm and to find its axis of symmetry.
(1) Draw a line segment
of 7.3 cm.
(2) Taking A as centre, draw a circle by using compasses. The radius of circle should be more than half the length of.
(3) With the same radius as before, draw another circle using compasses while taking point B as centre. Let it cut the previous circle at C and D.
(4) Join
. is the axis of symmetry.
Draw a line segment of length 9.5 cm and construct its perpendicular bisector?
The below given steps will be followed to construct a line segment of length 9.5 cm and its perpendicular bisector.
(1) Draw a line segment

(a) Take any point P on the bisector drawn. Examine whether PX = PY.
(b) If M is the mid point of, what can you say about the lengths MX and XY?
(1) Draw a line segment

(2) Taking point X as centre, draw a circle by using compasses. The radius of circle should be more than half the length of .
(3) With the same radius as before, draw another circle using compasses while taking point Y as centre. Let it cut the previous circle at A and B.
(4) Join
. is the axis of symmetry.
(a) Take any point P on . We will find that the measures of the lengths of PX and PY are same.
It is because is the axis of symmetry. Hence, any point lying on will be at the same distance from both the ends of.
(b) M is the mid-point of. Perpendicular bisector will be passing through point M. Hence, length ofis just double of
.
Or, 2MX = XY
Draw a line segment of length 12.8 cm. Using compasses; divide it into four equal parts. Verify by actual measurement?
(1) Draw a line segment

(1) Mark any point C on the sheet.
(2) By adjusting the compasses up to 3.4 cm and by putting the pointer of the compasses at point C, turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle. It is the required circle of 3.4 cm radius.
(3) Now, mark any chord

Repeat question 6, if 
happens to be a diameter?
(1) Mark any point C on the sheet.
(2) By adjusting the compasses up to 3.4 cm and by putting the pointer of the compasses at point C, turn the compasses slowly to draw the circle. It is the required circle of 3.4 cm radius.
(3) Mark any diameter

(4) Now, taking A and B as centres, draw arcs on both sides of taking radius more than. Let these intersect each other at D and E.
(5) Join DE, which is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
It can be observed that 
is passing through the centre C of the circle.
Draw a circle of radius 4 cm. Draw any two of its chords. Construct the perpendicular bisectors of these chords. Where do they meet?
(1) Mark any point C on the sheet. Now, by adjusting the compasses up to
