Problem 33 of 7
Describe how to construct the perpendicular bisector of segment CD.
Using a hint is okay. It just tells the trainer to give you a little more review.
Hidden until you reveal it.
use equal-radius arcs from endpoints.
Hidden until you reveal it.
Compass radius must be greater than half the segment and equal from both endpoints.
Enter your answer
Your answer is equivalent to the expected form.
Walkthrough
Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Draw equal-radius arcs from both endpoints.
2. Locate the two arc intersections.
3. Connect the arc intersections to create the perpendicular bisector.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Using a ruler to measure the midpoint as the formal construction.
