would somebody help me with geometry explain how to construct a perpendicular bisector

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

let's assume that u want to bisect the line AB

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

|dw:1391624061288:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I am still not getting it

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

and C is the mid point of it.... firs keep the divider on point A and mark a length longer than the length of AC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

let's think that as AD |dw:1391624503261:dw|

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

the black line stands for the divider

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

now draw two arcs like in the picture keeping divider on the point A|dw:1391624583904:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

now if u can get a rough idea about the center of the line (C) make sure to draw the arcs closer to (C)|dw:1391624694494:dw||dw:1391624730194:dw|
