Geometric features are objects constructed by using other geometric elements

The next step is;

Place the compass on point G and draw an arc, using the same width (HP) for the opening of the compass as the first arc

The reason the selected step is correct is as follows:

The given diagram shows the segment, GH, and an arc with radius HP drawn

Required:

What Louis should do for the next step is therefore

Place the compass at point G and draw an arc with radius HP, to intersect the first arc at points above and below the line

Then from the points of intersection of the two arcs above and below the line, a straight line is drawn to connect the intersection points and complete the construction of a perpendicular to the line $\frac{}{GH}$

Therefore, the correct option that gives Louis next step is to place the compass on point G and draw an arc, using the same width (HP) for the opening of the compass as the first arc
