Question 1.
Solution:
Steps of construction :
(i) Draw a line segment PQ = 6.2 cm
(ii) With centre P and Q and radius more than half of PQ, draw arcs on each side intersecting each other at L and M.

Verification. Since ∠RAB = ∠ABC and these are alternate angles, it follows that RY || BC.
Also ∠SCX = ∠ABC and these are corresponding angles, it follows that CD || AB.

3. With B as centre and the same radius as before draw arcs, cutting the previous arcs at P and Q respectively.
4. Join PQ, meeting AB at M. Then, PQ is the required right bisector of AB.
Verification : On measuring AM and BM and ∠AMP, we see that AM = BM and ∠AMP = 90°.
So, PQ is the right bisector of AB.
