Which one is the correct construction for a perpendicular bisector?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Put the steps in order to construct the perpendicular bisector of segment AB.

• Use the existing compass width to draw an arc that goes above and below AB that is centered on A.

• Place the compass point on Point B without changing the width, and repeat Step 2 to create another arc that is centered on B.

• Use a straightedge to draw the line through point C and D and label the point of intersection P.

• Set the compass point on Point A and open it more than halfway across AB.

• Name the intersections of the arcs C and D.
