Step-by-step explanation:
To create a perpendicular bisector, you need a compass, a straightedge, and a pencil. As well as the line segment AB drew down.
1> You start by opening the compass and stretching it to a width greater than half the length of AB.
2> Then you simply place one point of the compass on the line segments A. From here, you move the compass and draw arcs above and below the line AB.
3> Without moving the compass measure, remove it from point A and place it onto point B. You basically repeat step 2 by drawing arcs above and below the line again.
4> If you've done it right, the arcs should be in the middle, X and Y, and using a straightedge/ruler you draw a line that goes vertically through where they connect.
and that should be your perpendicular bisector using segment AB.
