Question

Kathy uses the following steps to construct a perpendicular line through a point C on a line segment:

Step 1: From point C, draw two arcs intersecting the line segment in points A and B.
Step 2: Using slightly more compass width, draw two arcs from point A, one above and the other below the line segment.
Step 3: Using the same width of the compass, draw two arcs from point B, above and below the line segment.
Step 4: Label the point of intersection of the arcs above the line segment as F and below the line as E.
Step 5: Using a compass, join E and F.

Answer 2

art A: Which is the first incorrect step?
Part B: Using complete sentences, explain your answer for Part A.
Part C: Explain why a compass works for the construction done by Kathy.

Answer 3

no compass, no way to completely understand the steps. Ok, let me try

Answer 4

:D @Loser66

Answer 5

I see :o

Answer 6

Then same with point b? two arcs?

Answer 7

with the same width of the compass ( a little bit wider compare to it is from the first step) , point at B draw 2 arcs as you do at point A they will cut the arcs from A at E ( above ) and F ( below)

Answer 8

link them that 's it
