Answer

Steps:

  1. Draw a line segment PQ\overline{PQ} of length 5.6 cm.

  2. Construct the perpendicular bisector of PQ\overline{PQ}. Let it meet PQ\overline{PQ} at point M. Then M is the mid-point of PQ\overline{PQ}.

  3. With M as centre and radius equal to MP (=12PQ=2.8 cm)\left(=\dfrac{1}{2}\text{PQ} = 2.8\text{ cm}\right), draw a circle.

With PQ of length 5.6 cm as diameter, draw a circle. Practical Geometry (Constructions), ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 6.

Hence, the required circle with PQ\overline{PQ} as diameter is drawn.
