Constructing a perpendicular Bisector
Here you will learn how to construct a perpendicular bisector of line segment AB. Using only the compass and straightedge.
If you need help you can select the boxes to show you the next step. make sure to use the measuring tool to ensure you not only have created a bisector but a perpendicular one as well.
Written Steps:
Step 1) Construct 2 circles centered at point A and B with radius AB
Step 2) Find the intersections of the two circles and label them DC
Step 3) Construct segment DC
Step 4) find the intersection of segment DC and segment AB
make sure to ensure by measure distance and angle that you truly created a perpendicular bisector.
