Answer:

Two perpendicular segments are segment AB and segment CD

Explanation:

The given construction with the straight edge and the compass gives;

1) A straight line CD

2) A line AE from the center of the circle A, to the line CD

3) The circles A and B constructed from the centers A and B respectively

Therefore

Whereby the points A and B are joint by the line AB, we have;

The line passing through the points C and D is the perpendicular bisector of line AB

Therefore, two perpendicular segments are segment AB and the perpendicular bisector of AB which is segment CD
