Answer 1

Answer:

D. Place the point of the compass on the midpoint of AB and mark

the points directly above and below the midpoint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Below are the simple steps to follow to draw a perpendicular bisector of line AB.

First step

Set the compass at the end of one line segment and move the compass so that it would be slightly longer than half of the line AB.

Second step

Set the compass at point A and make some arcs just above line AB.

Third step

Draw an arc from point B with the same compass width.

Fourth step

Carefully set a ruler at the intersection of the arcs and draw the line segment.
