PLEASE MARK THIS AS BRAINLIEST

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Draw a line segment PQ.

Step 2: Adjust the compass with length a little more than half of the length of PQ.

Step 3: Place the compass pointer at point P and draw arcs above and below the line.

Construction of Perpendicular Bisector : Place the compass pointer at point P and draw arcs above and below the line.

Step 4: Keeping the same length in the compass, place the compass pointer at point Q. Similarly, draw two arcs above and below the line keeping the compass pointer at Q.

Construction of Perpendicular Bisector: Keeping the same length in the compass, place the compass pointer at point Q and draw two arcs above and below the line.

Step 5: Mark the points where the opposite arcs cross as X and Y.

Construction of Perpendicular Bisector: Mark the points where the opposite arcs cross as X and Y.

Step 6: Using a ruler, draw a line passing across X and Y.

Construction of Perpendicular Bisector: Using a ruler, draw a line passing across X and Y.

The perpendicular bisector bisects PQ at a point J, that is, the length PJ is equal to JQ. And the angle between the two lines is 90 degrees.
