Step 1:  Draw a line, AB, 8 cm long.
Step 2:  Draw an arc centred at A with a radius of more than half of the length of AB.
Step 3:  Using the same radius, draw an arc centred at B to cut the arc drawn in Step 2 at P and Q.
Step 4:  Join PQ.

PQ perpendicularly bisects AB at M; and PQ is called the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB.
