well it really easy a perpendicular line has 90 degrees in and it looks like an L shape so if you want to measure the COMPASS you go
QtoU=Yso180degrees

How many perpendicular bisectors can be constructed for a line segment?
Exactly one. No more, no less.
Where do Perpendicular bisectors intersect?
At a perfect right angle adjacent to the line and exactly half way along the line.
How many perpindicuar bisectors can a line segment have?
Since there is no such word as "perpindicuar", it is difficult to be sure. A line segment can have only one perpendicular bisector.
Are the angle bisectors of a regular polygon sometimes concurrent?
The angle bisectors of a regular polygon are always concurrent. And the point that they meet at is also the meeting point of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides. If it is a polygon with an odd nmber of sides, the "medians" [line from vertex to mid-point of opposite side] and "altitudes" [perpendicular from vertex to opposite side] will also meet at the same point.
Can perpendicular bisectors have a vertex as an endpoint?
When one draws an isosceles triangle and cast a line straight down from the top, It will result to a perpendicular bisector of the bottom leg. This will only work with an isosceles triangle.
What are perpendicular bisectors?
A line that is perpendicular to the segment of a plane and passes through the midpoint.
How many perpendicular bisectors can a line segment have?
Only one.
What do you call to a line of symmetry of an isosceles triangle?
There is no specific name. It is one of the medians, angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors: one set of these is coincident and is the line of symmetry.
How many perpendicular bisectors can be constructed for a line segment?
Exactly one. No more, no less.
Where do Perpendicular bisectors intersect?
At a perfect right angle adjacent to the line and exactly half way along the line.
How can you use perpendicular and angle bisectors to form a 45 degree angle?
You draw a perpendicular at the end of a line segment. You then bisect the right angle formed between the original line and the perpendicular. The resulting angle will be 45 degrees.
How many perpindicuar bisectors can a line segment have?
Since there is no such word as "perpindicuar", it is difficult to be sure. A line segment can have only one perpendicular bisector.

What is perpendiclular?
Perpendicular means that two lines will intersect to form a right angle. On a compass, the East/West line, which runs horizontal, is perpendicular to the North/South line, which runs vertical.
When constructing a perpendicular bisector why must the compass opening be greater than the length of the segment?
So that the arc is mid-way in perpendicular to the line segment
Is it possible to construct a perpendicular bisector to any given line using only a straightedge and a compass?
Yes
