Draw the Perpendicular Bisector of a Line Segment Using Compasses
Geometry Notes
Definition: The Perpendicular bisector of a line segment is a line both cut the
segment into two equal lengths and perpendicular to the line segment.
For drawing the perpendicular bisector of a line segment using compasses,
Step 1. Draw a line segment PQ.
Step 2. Draw two arcs with radius grater then half length of the segment PQ.
centered at P and 0 respectively. The arcs meet at point M and N.
Step 3. Join point M and N. Line MN is the perpendicular bisector of line segment PU.
