Question

What is the next step in this construction?

A. Measure the distance from point R to point E using a compass.

B. Use a straightedge to connect point R with the arc below the line.

C. Place the compass on point Rand draw a small arc above the line.

D. Place the compass on point E and draw a small arc below the line and beneath point R.

Answer 1

The next step in his construction is part A

Answer 2

D. Place the compass on point E and draw a small arc below the line and beneath point R.

Explanation:

According, to given construction we need to draw the a perpendicular on a line m from a point R above the line.

According to given figure, we have given a line m and R is a point above the line then they placed the compass on point R and draw the an arc by cutting line m at the points E and F. In next step we need to

D. Place the compass on point E and draw a small arc below the line and beneath point R.
