  1. Open the compass to a width greater than half the length of AB.
  2. Place the compass point at A.
  3. Draw arcs above and below the line AB.
  4. Move the compass point to B WITHOUT changing the compass setting.
  5. Draw arcs above and below AB to intersect them at X and Y.
  6. Join XY.

XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
7. Celebrate the successful completion of the task!
