Which image shows the construction of a perpendicular bisector?
Which of these illustrates the construction of a perpendicular line through a given point NOT on the line
What geometric construction is shown in the diagram below?
an angle bisector

By using a compass, D and G were marked equidistant from Vertex E. The compass was then used to locate point F, distant from E, so that F is equidistant from D and G. For all constructions defined by the above steps, the measures of DEF and GEF
are equal
are NOT equal
sum to 45°
sum to 30°
Eric was attempting to construct a perpendicular bisector to the segment AB with a compass and straight edge. Which of the below statements explains what Eric may have done wrong?
Eric should have started by putting the compass needle point at the midpoint of the segment AB.
On the second step, Eric should have placed the compass needle point where the first arc intersected the segment AB.
Erick just needed to open the compass more to create arcs that have a radius of more than half the length of the segment AB.
Erick didn’t do anything wrong he just needs to connect the opposite endpoints of each arc to finish the construction.
The given diagram is what kind of construction?
Perpendicular bisector
Congruent angles
Angle bisector
Congruent line segments
When copying line segment AB using a straight edge and a compass, the compass should be used to:

Measure the length of segment AB
Draw an arc between point A and point B
Measure half the length of line segment AB
