So that the arc is mid-way in perpendicular to the line segment

What is a ray mn is the bisector of segment kl kl km and km 5 cm find kn?
On the basis of the information provided, kn can be any length greater than 2.5 cm. There is nothing in the question that requires either n to be on kl or for kl to be the bisector of mn.
The first step in the construction of a perpendicular bisector is to draw a what?
Equilateral triangle * * * * * Why? Draw an arc, greater than half the distance of the line segment, from one of the end points. Another arc, using the same radius from the other end. Jion the two points where the arcs intersect - one on each side of the line. At best you get two isosceles triangles if yu join up other lines (which is not required), but certainly no equilaterals! ******* because it's APEX and it's stupid in ways you can't understand

What is a process you would use to create the perpendicular bisector to a segment AB using only an unmarked straightedge and an unmarked compass?
Open the compass to a width greater than half the length of AB.Place the compass point at A.Draw arcs above and below the line AB.Move the compass point to B WITHOUT changing the compass setting.Draw arcs above and below AB to intersect them at X and Y.Join XY.XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB.7. Celebrate the successful completion of the task!
Is it the greater of the wave in a perpendicular medium the greater the wavelength of the wave will be?
yes
Which Chinese inventions has had a greater effect on the world history magnetic compass or gunpowder?

Does a greater amount of force always result in a greater amount of work?
you have to be using a compass

How do you constructing an obtuse angle?
Start by drawing any angle greater than 90 degrees, and then connect the endpoint of the rays that create you angle.
How do you convert angular rotation into force?
You create a purely 'rotatory force' or torque when you have two forces of equal magnitude but opposite direction pushing or pulling on an object. The greater the forces the greater the torque, and the greater the perpendicular distances between the two forces the greater the torque. Note that because the forces are equal and opposite, the object will not accelerate in any direction. But because there is a perpendicular distance between the forces the object will start to rotate.
Two parallelograms have two sides 3 feet and 2 feet long one of the parallelograms is a rectangle and the other is not which has a bigger area and why?
The area of a parallelogram is base times perpendicular height With the dimensions given the perpendicular height of the rectangle will be greater than the parallelogram. Therefore the rectangle will have a greater area than the parallelogram.
Which has a greater torque a perpendicular force applied at the end of a wrench handle or an equal force applied in the same direction near the middle of the handle?
the perpendicular force applied at the end of a wrench handle. Because torque= Fd / T = F d cos θ therefore the greater the distance the greater the torque. T=torque F=force d=distance cos=cosine θ=theta
How do you construct parallelogram?
With a straight edge and making sure that its length is greater than its perpendicular height and that opposite sides are parallel to each other.
Show the Placement of Reinforcement in a RCC staircase?
It is in the stair-waist from the bottom with min. covering of 15 mm. or equal to the dia. of the main reinforcement (whichever is greater). The main bars are perpendicular to the treads and risers the distribution bars are perpendicular to the main bars and are above it.
