Author:
GeoGebra Materials Team
Given two points A and B in the plane, how can you find the midpoint using a compass ONLY? Please try "View--> Protocols" to see how it works. Isn't it Beautiful!
Questions 1) Why does it work? 2) How is it related to the traditional compass-straightedge approach? 3)Can you create a new midpont tool using the "Bubbling Method'? Reference http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MascheroniConstruction.html
