The steps of construction are:

(i) Draw a circle with centre C and a radius of 3.4 cm.

(ii) Draw any chord \bar{AB}.

(iii) Taking A and B as centres and radius more than half of \bar{AB}, draw two arcs which cut each other at X and Y.

(iv) Join XY. Then XY is the perpendicular bisector of \bar{AB}.

This perpendicular bisector  \bar{AB} passes through the centre C of the circle.
