Question

To contract the perpendicular birect
Give a line segment AB, we want to construct its perpendicularis​

Answer 1

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\red{❥Answer}$

• open the compass more than half of the distance between A and B, and scribe arcs of the same radius centered at A and B.
• Call the two points where these two arcs meet C and D. Draw the line between C and D.
• CD is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB. Call the point where CD intersects AB E.
• Proof. top.

Answer 2

open the compass more than half of the distance between A and B, and scribe arcs of the same radius centered at A and B.

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

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

Proof. top.
