Question

To construct the perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB, We draw two equal arcs as taking centres A and B with radius _____. *

2 points

less than AB/2

more than AB/2

equal to AB/2

none of these

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Step 4: CD is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB. Call the point where CD intersects AB E.
