Question

  1. what is the correct way to construct a perpendicular bisector of a segment?

eye ball it
use a compass and straight edge
use a protractor
use a ruler only

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To construct a perpendicular bisector of a segment accurately, we use a compass and straight - edge. Eyeballing is not accurate. A protractor is used for measuring angles, not for constructing perpendicular bisectors. A ruler alone cannot be used to construct a perpendicular bisector as it cannot create equal arcs needed for the construction.

Answer:

B. Use a compass and straight edge
