Answer:

Follow the steps below to construct a perpendicular bisector of a line segment.

Step 1: Draw a line segment XY of any suitable length.

Step 2: Take a compass, and with X as the center and with more than half of the line segment XY as width, draw arcs above and below the line segment.

Step 3: Repeat the same step with Y as the center.

Step 4: Label the points of intersection as 'P' and 'Q'.

Step 5: Join the points 'P' and 'Q'. The point at which the perpendicular bisector PQ intersects the line segment XY is its midpoint. Label it as 'O'.

Answer:

Given a line segment AB

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.
