The answer for the question above is TRUE.

Given a line segment with endpoints A and B, we must merely find a point on the perpendicular bisector of the line AB, then use the perpendicular line construction. To find the point on the perpendicular bisector, we must merely find a point that is equidistant from both A and B. We can do this with a compass by choosing a compass length greater than half the length AB, and then making an arc from A above the line AB. Then we make an arc from B having the same length. 

<span>Since we used the same length for each arc, the intersection of the arcs, P, is equidistant from A and B. Now we simply use the perpendicular line construction for line AB and P, which is off the line. This line will be a perpendicular bisector. </span>

the length of a rectangle is 3 times the width. The perimeter is 44 cm. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
Gnom [1K]
Hello there
We can say that,
The length = 3u
The width= 1u
3u + 1u +3u +1u= 44cm
8u= 44cm
1u= 44cm / 8
    = 5.5cm
Length= 5.5 cm x 3
           =16.5 cm
Width= 5.5 cm

Hope this helps :))
