First draw a line= 8.4cm.
then take a compass and measure the length from one point.
then draw the arc on both the sides of the line.
do the same thing from the other point.
it will look like 2 cross; then join the two cross and the line will be divided into 2 equal halves .
then take each of the two sides as a new line and do the same thing...
