In the given figure, PQ is a line segment, PQ=10 cm. L is a perpendicular bisector passing through PQ at M. Find the value of MQ.

A perpendicular bisector always divides a line segment through its midpoint. The term bisect itself means dividing equally or uniformly.

Given, PQ =10 cm and LM is a perpendicular bisector.

$\mathrm{MQ}=\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{PQ}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 10$

$=5 \mathrm{cm}$

Therefore, the value of MQ=5 cm.
