KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

The axis of symmetry of a line segment is its perpendicular bisector. Steps: 1. Draw a line segment of length 6.4 cm. 2. With A as centre and any suitable radius , draw arcs on each side of . 3. With B as centre and the same radius, draw arcs on each side of to cut the previous arcs at C and D. 4. Draw line CD. Hence, CD is the required axis of symmetry (perpendicular bisector) of line segment .
