We have different steps for bisecting a line segment using a reflective device, and these steps are as follows:
And we have to select three of them to complete the process.
To determine the steps, we need to remember that the reflective device permits us to see through it, and also see reflections on it. Then the steps for bisecting a line segment AB are:
1. Place the reflective device anywhere on the segment - It does not matter the position at which we need to put the reflective device.
2. Move the reflective device around on the paper until the reflection of point A coincides with point B.
3. Draw the line of the reflection using the edge of the reflective device as a guide.
Therefore, in summary, the three steps are:
• Place the reflective device anywhere on the segment (,first box,).
,
• Move the reflective device around on the paper until the reflection of point A coincides with point B (,third box,).
• Draw the line of the reflection using the edge of the reflective device as a guide (sixth box),.
