Constructing Perpendicular Bisector (Midpoint)

Follow these steps to construct perpendicular bisectors

1) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius AB and center point A 2) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius AB and center point B 3) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment that connects the intersections of circles A and B 4) Using the POINT TOOL, mark point E at the intersection of segments AB and CD RESULTS: Segment CD is the Perpendicular Bisector of segment AB Point E is the Midpoint of segment AB
