Question

When constructing perpendicular lines with a compass and straightedge, how should you start the construction? a. Open the compass and mark two points of intersection between arcs from the given line. b. Use a straightedge to find the length of the given line and then make an arc above it. c. Open the compass to the width of the original line to measure it. d. use a straightedge to create two arcs above and below the original line

Answer 1

Create a line that intersects the given line with your straightedge.

Explanation:

Answer 2

firsty,open the compass to the width of the original line to measure it. then use the straightedgeto find the length of the given line and then mark an arc above .in 3rd step use a straightedge to create two arcs above and below the original line lastly open the compass andmark two points of intersections between the arcs of given lines.

i think its all..
