> Solution Steps of construction: Step I: Draw a line segment ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB=6.5cm Step II: Draw a perpendicular bisector of AB, which meets ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB at O [∵ O is the mid-point of ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB, i.e. AO = OB]. Step III: Now, draw a perpendicular bisector of ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AO which meet ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB at P, such that AP = PO. Step IV: Then, draw a perpendicular bisector of ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯BO which meet ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB at Q, such that BQ = OQ. Step V: The line segment ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB is divided into 4 equal parts at P, O, and Q Step VI: By actual measurement, we find that ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AP=¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯PO=¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯OQ=¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯QB=1.625cm.
