Given a segment with endpoints a and b, what figure can you construct using the steps below?
step 1: put the compass point on a and draw a long arc. be sure the opening is greater than 1/2 ab.
step 2: with the compass on the same setting, put the compass point on b and draw another long arc. label the points where the two arcs meet as x and y.
step 3: draw line xy. label the point of intersection of segment ab and line xy as m, the midpoint of segment ab.
a) a perpendicular bisector
b) a congruent segment
c) an angle bisector
d) a congruent angle
( i don't have a compass or a protractor at the moment, and this lesson we needed one to answer the questions so therefore, i can't answer the question at the moment. you to whoever me in any way. god bless)
