Geometry: Perpendicular Bisector Construction

What is the primary function of a perpendicular bisector in geometry?

• To measure the length of a line segment

• To cut a line segment into two equal parts and form right angles

• To create a parallel line

• To divide a line segment into two unequal parts

Which tool is essential for constructing a perpendicular bisector?

• Protractor

• Compass

• Set square

• Calculator

What is the first step in constructing a perpendicular bisector?

• Drawing a straight line

• Measuring the line segment

• Swinging arcs from each endpoint of the segment

• Connecting the endpoints directly

After creating intersecting arcs, what is the next step in constructing a perpendicular bisector?

• Erase the arcs

• Measure the distance between intersections

• Connect the intersection points with a ruler

• Draw a circle around the intersections
