Expert Answer:
1. Draw a line AB = 8 cm.
2. Taking A as a centre and radius more than half of length AB, draw two arcs in upper and lower portion of AB.
3. Taking B as a centre and same radius, draw two arcs which cut the previous arcs at E and F.
4. Join EF which cut AB at C.
5. EF is the required perpendicular bisector of AB.
6. Measuring AC and CB, each is equal to 4 cm.
