Explanation:

Set your compass to length say AB and draw a circle centre A, without adjusting the compass, draw another circle with centre B. Name their intersectin C and D, erase the other part of the circle and leave just the intersect C and D. Draw a circle with centre A that passes through the intersection C and D, also draw a straight line that passes through centre C and D. Make an intersection say E on the circle by puting your comass on C and D. Join C and D to this intersection E.
