Question

Ben uses a compass and straightedge to bisect PQ, as shown:

Answer 1

Option B is correct. After drawing and measuring the length of a straight line say PQ, it is important that we must be open the compass to a width greater than half of PQ for us to be able to conveniently create arcs above the line segment.

Construction is a way of creating an exact measurement of a figure or an object. Some of the instruments used in construction include:

• Ruler
• Pencil
• Protractor
• Divider

During the construction on bisection of angles, after drawing and measuring the length of a straight line say PQ, it is important that we must be open the compass to a width greater than half of PQ for us to be able to conveniently create arcs above the line segment.

If the radius is not more than half the length of the line it might be quite difficult to make the necessary arc both above and below the line.
