Steps of Construction
1. Draw a line segment MN = 5 cm.
2. With M as centre and 5 cm as radius, draw an arc on one side of MN.
3. With N as centre and 5 cm as radius, draw another arc on the same side of MN to intersect the former arc at L.
4. Join LM and LN.
Then, ∆LMN is the required equilateral triangle.
5. Taking M as centre and any radius, draw an arc to intersect the line segments MN and ML at P and Q respectively.
6. Next, taking P and Q as centres and with the radius more than PQ, draw arcs to intersect each other, say at R. 7. Draw the ray MR. This ray MR is the required bisector of the ∠M.
