How do you find a segment bisector?
Adjust a compass so the distance between the point and the pencil is more than half of the length of the segment. With the point at one end of the segment draw an arc that intersects the segment. Without adjusting the compass, with the point at the other end of the segment draw an arc that intersects the first arc at two places. The line that includes those two intersecting points is the perpendicular bisector.
How can you make perpendicular bisectors of a line without a compass?
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
Which tool can be used in a formal geometric construction?
Compass
What are the classical construction tools of geometry?
compass and straightedge.

How would the construction be different if you changed the compass setting in step 4 of the perpendicular bisector construction?
If the compass angle is changed, the entire geometric shape being drawn is different. For example, if a triangle is being drawn, it could change from an obtuse triangle from a ninety degree triangle.
Why must the compass point be placed on the points where the arc intersects with the original line?
In order to bisect an angle is the normal way by joining the vertex of the lines with the double arc that is created
What is the first step in the construction of a line perpendicular to AB and passing through an external point M?
Draw a straight line and with compass mark off two joined arcs above and below the line and then join the arcs together which will produce a perpendicular line.
Using a straight edge and compass make geometric figures?
A construction. A construction is a geometric drawing of a figure usually made by a compass and/or a straightedge
Which tools are necessary to construct a perpendicular bisector?
A compass and a straight edge
How would you draw a perpendicular line?
Using a compass and ruler: # At the point you want the perpendicular line to cross, place a dot. Label it A. # Draw a circle centred at A with a radius of about an inch (two-three centimetres). Label the points it intersects the original line as B and C. # Construct two circles centred at B and C, large enough that they almost reach the other point and have the same size. Label the points they intersect at as D and E. # Draw a straight line between E and D. This line is the perpendicular line. This method can also be used to draw a perpendicular bisector, if the ends of the line you wish to bisect are labelled as points B and C.

How do you find center of a circle given 3 points on the circle?
You have points A, B, and C. Using a compass and straight edge, find a perpendicular bisector of AB (that is, a line that is perpendicular to AB and intersects AB at the midpoint of AB. Next, find a perpendicular bisector of BC. The two lines you found will meet at the center of the circle.
