Question

given that the images represent 4 steps in the construction of a perpendicular bisector to a given line segment, which is step 4 in the construction?
a
diagram

b
diagram

c
diagram

d
diagram

Explanation:

To construct a perpendicular bisector of a line segment:

• Step 1: Start with the line segment (like option C).
• Step 2: Draw arcs from both endpoints (like option B).
• Step 3: Draw arcs above (and below) the line segment (like option D).
• Step 4: Connect the intersection points of the arcs to form the perpendicular bisector (like option A).

Answer:

A.
