Question

Sasha is bisecting a segment. First, she places the compass on one endpoint, opens it to a width larger than half of the segment, and swings an arc on either side of the segment. Then, she keeps the compass the same width and places it on the other endpoint. What is her next step

Answer 1

Her next step is to repeat the last process of drawing those two arcs. However, they will be mirrored since she swapped endpoints.

Check out the diagram below. Figure 1 is what she already has. Figure 2 is what happens after completing the next step. The red and blue arcs intersect to help form the endpoints of the perpendicular bisector. I used GeoGebra to make the diagrams.
