Suppose all of the points in the figure are equidistant. Start with your compass point on point B. To create a perpendicular bisector of mc103-2.jpg, open the compass to _____ https://dlap.gradpoint.com/Resz/~0.nhXSdvEsokUKwuFB.5r8PBsiSRwOpIjwVmAOH17-BtE07y_YJ6tWhcxHNFoI/11335527,A01,111,0,0,0,0/Assets/testitemimages/geometry_a/tools_of_geometry/mc103-1.jpg point C. point D. point A. a position between points B and C.

Option B, point D. In order to understand the concepts of constructions, you should try it out yourself, with paper, pencil, and a compass. He would extend the compass to point D, then draw a semi-circular arc above and below the line segments. Then he would replicate the same, setting his compass point on D and extending it to B. He would connect the intersection of the arcs, forming a perpendicular bisector that intersects point C.

lovetearia:

so the answer is point d

charge69:

Yes

charge69:

What's the other image though? It's not given where the bisector must be constructed.

lovetearia:

thank you and what other image

charge69:

Nvm

charge69:

I'm just asking where the bisector was meant to be constructed
