Question

50 points! Please help you guys! Explain how you can use the perpendicular bisector of a segment to draw an isosceles triangle. Draw a picture if you can.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1: Stretch your compasses until it is more then half the length of AB. Put the sharp end at A and mark an arc above and another arc below line segment AB.

Step 2: Without changing the width of the compasses, put the sharp end at B and mark arcs above and below the line segment AB that will intersect with the arcs drawn in step 1.

Step 3: Join the two points where the arcs intersect with a straight line. This line is the perpendicular bisector of AB. P is the midpoint of AB.
