(N/A) Steps of construction:
$1$. Draw a line segment $PQ = 7.4\,cm$ using a ruler.
$2$. With $P$ as the center and a radius of more than half of $PQ$ (i.e.,$> 3.7\,cm$),draw two arcs,one above and one below the line segment $PQ$.
$3$. With $Q$ as the center and the same radius,draw two arcs that intersect the previous arcs at points $X$ and $Y$.
$4$. Join the points $X$ and $Y$ using a ruler. The line $XY$ is the required perpendicular bisector of $PQ$.
