Answer:

  see below for instructions

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to do these constructions yourself. We cannot put marks on your paper for you.

The instructions below apply to part 3. A subset of the instructions applies to parts 1 and 2. The tools you need are a compass and a straightedge.

__

1. Draw line AB, and mark point X on it.

2. Choose a suitable radius for your compass and draw arcs with that radius centered at X. Label the points of intersection with line AB points E and G.

From here, the instructions are the same for constructing a perpendicular bisector of any segment. In what follows, we are construction the perpendicular bisector of segment EG. Thus, these instructions apply directly to parts 1 and 2. Points E and G will refer to the end points of the segment you are bisecting.

3. Set your compass radius to more than half the distance between points E and G.

4. Draw an arc centered at E that extends above and below the center of segment EG.

5. Using the same radius, draw arcs centered at G that cross the arc you drew in step 4. Label the points of intersection point P and Q.

6. Draw line segment PQ. This is the perpendicular bisector of EG. (For part 3, it will go through point X.)

In the attached, we show the "arcs" as full circles. They need not be. They only need to have sufficient length to make sure they cross where they need to cross.
