Question

Segment WX is shown.

Answer 1

Answer:

See description below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line segment WX is shown.

To construct a perpendicular bisector of WX, do the following;

1. Place the compass tip at point W and open the compass to more than half the radius of segment WX.

2. Draw an arc up and another arc below the line segment.

3. Maintaining the same radius, stand at point X and draw an arc above to intersect the first arc, and another arc below also to intersect the first one.

4. Using a straight edge, draw a straight line through the intersections of the pairs of arcs.
