Construct a perpendicular bisector on a line segment AB following the steps as mentioned below:-
i) Write the measure of AB
ii) Write the name of the perpendicular bisector
iii) Write the measures of the two parts of AB

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1: Given a line segment AB

Step 2: 0pen the compass more than half of the distance between A and B, and scribe arcs of the same radius centered at A and B.

Step 3: Call the two points where these two arcs meet C and D. Draw the line between C and D
