The steps of constructions are:

(i) Draw a line segment \bar{XY} = 10.3 cm

(ii) Taking X and Y as centres and radius more than half of AB, draw two arcs which intersect each other at C and D.

(iii) Join CD. Then CD is the required perpendicular bisector of \bar{XY}.

Now:

(a) Take any point P on the bisector drawn. With the help of divider, we can check that \bar{PX}=\bar{PY}.

(b) If M is the mid-point of \bar{XY}, then \bar{MX} = \frac{1}{2}\bar{XY}???????
