Question

Segment wx is shown Explain how you would construct a perpendicular bisector of wx using a compass and a straightedge

Answer 1

Answer:

To perpendicular bisector of line segment WX. There are following steps:

1) Draw arcs or circles from points A and B on the both sides of WX.

2) Name the intersection points as W and X.

3) Use the straightedge to draw a line through points W and X.

4) Name the point as O

hence we have construct perpendicular bisector AB of WX which bisects at O.
