Answer:
CP=CB
drawn perpendicular bisector
1. Draw a line segment AB=6 cm.
2. With A as the centre and more than half of AB as the radius, draw tow arcs on either side of
¯¯¯¯¯¯
A
B
.
3. With B as the centre and with the same radius, draw two arcs which intersect the previous arcs at X and Y.
4. Join XY. XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
