equilateral triangle ;)
The right way
Two lines cannot be parallel and perpendicular at the same time.
true.
Draw a perpendicular to that line and extend the arms of the angle to meed the perpendicular drawn earlier. Check if the line is bisecting the perpendicular, if yes, then the line is a bisector of the angle. :)
haterz gonna hate but it is yes
The right way
Open the compass to a little more than half the distance between the two points. Draw arcs from above the line to below the line from each end. This will look a little bit like an American football. The line that goes through the pointed ends of the football is the perpendicular bisector.

Place the point if the compass on point B and draw an arc across AB.
The answer depends on the level of your knowledge. Suppose the base is of length b and the vertical angle is x degrees. Draw the base, AC, and its perpendicular bisector. Calculate h = b/[2*tan(x/2)]. That is the height of the triangle so mark this point, B, on the perpendicular bisector. Draw AB and BC. Done!
Draw a line from any part on the outside of a circle to the exact center of the circle. * * * * * That is fine if you know where the center is but not much use if you are just given a circle and do not know where the exact centre is. In this case: Draw a chord - a straight line joining any two points on the circumference of the circle. Then draw the perpendicular bisector of the chord. Draw another chord and its perpendicular bisector. The two perpendicular bisectors will meet at the centre.

Start with constructing a circle, then make a diameter from that circle. After you've done that, construct the perpendicular bisector of, the diameter, then draw the line in from the perpendicular bisector. After you've done that, connect the 4 points you have on the circle... then you're done. ^^ Hope this helps. :)
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.
