Question

Joaquin is constructing the perpendicular bisector of AB. He opens his

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps for constructing the perpendicular bisector is:

Step 1:

Open the compass more than half of the length of the segment AB and put it on point A and draw an arc across AB

Step 2:

Place the compass with the same width on point B and draw an arc across AB.

Step 3:

Place the ruler on the points above and below AB and draw a line.

Step 4:

The line is the perpendicualr bisector of the line segment AB ..

Hence, option A is the correct answer ..

Answer 2

Answer:

Option: A is the correct answer.

A.  Place the point of compass on point B and draw an arc across AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps for constructing perpendicular bisector of line segment AB are as follows:

1. Draw a line segment AB.

2. Now, open the span of compass more than half the distance of AB and put the point of compass at A and draw arc across AB.

3. Now keeping the same span of compass, place the point of compass at B and draw an arc across AB.

4. Now, draw the line connecting the point of intersection of the two arcs.

5. The line so obtained is a perpendicular bisector of the line AB. and the point where the line meets AB is the mid-point of AB.
