Bisecting a line (line length = 10 cm)
Procedure
1. Let AB be the given line with center A and radius greater than half of AB draw
an arcs on both sides of AB.
2. With centre B and the same radius draw arcs intersecting the previous arcs at C
and D. Draw a line joining C and D, cutting A and B at E. Then,

1
AE=EB= AB

3. Further CD bisects AB at right angles.

To bisect a given Arc (R = 5cm)

1. Let AB be the given arc with centre A and radius greater D half of AB draw arcs
on either side of AB.
2. Centre B with same radius draw arcs intersecting previous arcs at C and D.
Draw a line joining C and D cutting AB at E then

1
AE=EB= AB

To draw perpendicular lines (10 cm, P = 4 cm from B)

- To draw a perpendicular to a given line from a point within it.
Procedure-Case-I
1. Let the point is near middle of the line. Let AB be the given line and P the
point in it.
2. With P as centre and any convenient radius draw an arc cutting AB at C
and D.
3. With any radius r2 > r1 and centre C and D draw arcs intersecting each
other at O. Draw a line joining P and O, then PO is required perpendicular
