Chapter 57, Problem 1A
Trace this line segment two times. On one copy construct a perpendicular bisector of the segment. On the other copy divide the segment into three equal segments.
Expert Solution & Answer

To determine
To construct:
A perpendicular bisector of the line segment.
To divide: The line segment into three equal parts.
Answer to Problem 1A
Area
Explanation of Solution
Steps of construction:
- Taking A as a centre and radius more than half of AB, draw arcs on both the above and below the line segment AB as shown in figure (a).
- Similarly, taking B as a centre and radius same as above draw another arc on both the sides of the line segment that intersects the first pair of arcs as shown in the diagram (b).
- Join both the arcs by drawing a straight line. Line CD as shown in figure (c), is the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB with O as a centre.
Divide the line segment into three equal parts:
Steps of construction:
- From point A, draw a line segment AC forming an angle with AB as shown in fig(a).
- On line segment AC with the help of a compass mark three equal arcs D, E and F of any length (b).
- Connect point F with point B.
- Now taking F as a centre, draw arcs which intersect the line segment AC at G and BF at H.
- Repeat the procedure by taking D and E as centre and mark an arc of same radii as shown in figure.
- With the help of a compass measure the distance GH and mark the same distance from other two arcs as well which intersects the arcs at point K and M respectively.
- Join E with K and D with M and extending the lines past AB. Thus, line segment AB is divided into three equal parts.
