After placing the compass' point on one end of the line segment and striking an arc above and below that segment, what is the ne
xt step in constructing a perpendicular bisector? A) Draw an arc above and below the line.
B) Draw an arc on both ends of the line segment.
C) Place the compass' point on the other end of the segment.
D) Set the compass' width to approximately 1/2 the length of the segment.
The first amount would be the original amount as the answer because you are adding and then subtracting the same number. If the increase was 150% then the answer would be 50% more because 150%-100%=50%.
