then place your compass on one end point of segment and draw two arcs of either side of segment like this |dw:1381243004805:dw|

ledah · Answer

|dw:1381243261078:dw| you are supposed to do the same thing for the other side as well. the other side of the line segment that is. cross the arcs with another set of arcs

anonymous · Answer

ledah is right.. then just join the two points |dw:1381243310231:dw|

ledah · Answer
