In the previous segment, we understood the logic behind the angle bisector construction.
In this segment, we will learn how to draw a perpendicular bisector.
What is a Perpendicular bisector?
A line passing through the midpoint of a line segment and making an angle of 90o with it is known as a Perpendicular bisector.
Perpendicular bisector of a segment AB
How to construct a perpendicular bisector of a line segment?
Let us understand how to draw a perpendicular bisector of a line segment using the following steps:
Step 1: Consider a line segment AB.
Step 1
Step 2: Place the steel tip of the compass on any one end of seg AB, say point A. Adjust the compass width to more than half the length of seg AB. Draw two arcs on either side of seg AB.
