- Set a compass to draw a circle with a radius that's more than half the length of the line segment but less than the whole length.
- Put the compass point at one end of the segment and draw an arc above the middle of the segment and another below the middle of the segment.
- Put the compass point at the other end of the segment and again draw arcs above and below the middle of the segment, intersecting the first two arcs.
- Draw a line connecting the point where the two arcs intersect above the segment and the point where they intersect below the segment.
That's your perpendicular bisector.
