Question

Which diagram shows the construction of the perpendicular bisector of AB?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Explanation for the correct option:

Determining the correct figure:

The given line segment $AB$.

Stretching compasses until it is more then half the length of $AB$.

Then Put the end point at $A$ and draw an arc above side and another arc below side to the line segment $AB$.

Without changing the width of the compasses, putting the end at $B$ and draw arcs above and below the line segment $AB$ that will intersect as following

Thus the resultant diagram be

Hence, option $A$ is the correct answer.
