Question

Louis is constructing the perpendicular bisector of GH¯¯¯¯¯¯. He has already constructed an arc as shown.

What should Louis do for his next step?

Place the point of the compass on point G and draw an arc, using GP as the width for the opening of the compass.

Place the point of the compass on point P and draw an arc, using GP as the width for the opening of the compass.

Place the point of the compass on point G and draw an arc, using the same width for the opening of the compass as the first arc.

Place the point of the compass on point G and draw an arc, using GH as the width for the opening of the compass.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. Place the point of the compass on point G and draw an arc, using the same width for the opening of the compass as the first arc.

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the k12 test and it was correct.

Answer 2

Geometric features are objects constructed by using other geometric elements

The next step is;

• Place the compass on point G and draw an arc, using the same width (HP) for the opening of the compass as the first arc

The reason the selected step is correct  is as follows:

The given diagram  shows the segment, GH, and an arc with radius HP drawn

Required:

What Louis should do for the next step is therefore

• Place the compass at point G and draw an arc with radius HP, to intersect the first arc at points above and below the line

• Then from the points of intersection of the two arcs above and below the line, a straight line is drawn to connect the intersection points and complete the construction of a perpendicular to the line $\overline {GH}$

Therefore, the correct option that gives Louis next step is to place the compass on point G and draw an arc, using the same width (HP) for the opening of the compass as the first arc
