How to construct a Perpendicular Bisector of a Segment
Step 1. Draw a line segment to a desired length
Step 2. Insert a midpoint in the line segment
Step 3. Insert a point between the midpoint and the end of the segment
Step 4. Reflect the point
Step 5. Label each point
Beginning of segment(A), End of segment(B), midpoint(C), point between midpoint and end(D), reflected point(Dprime)
Step 6. Take compass and place on D to A
Step 7. Take compass and place on Dprime to B
Step 8. Label points where circles intersect top(E), bottom(F)
Step 9. Draw a segment for point E to F
Step 10. Measure angle ECA
