Question

max is bisecting a segment. first. he places the compass on one endpoint and opens it to a width larger than half of the segment then he swings an arc on either side of the segment what is his next step?

Answer 1

Answer:

Keep the compass the same width and place it on the other endpoint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Max is bisecting a segment. First, he places the compass on one endpoint and opens it to a width larger than half of the segment. Then he swings an arc on either side of the segment.

Next Max's step should be: keep the compass the same width and place it on the other endpoint.

He will draw the second arc of the same radius as the first one.

Two drawn arcs intersect at two points, Max will connect these points and get the segment which bisects the given one.

Answer 2

Answer:

Keep the compass the same width, and place it on the other endpoint.
