1.16a -- Construct Perpendicular Bisector (Midpoint)
Follow these steps to construct perpendicular bisectors
1) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius AB and center point A
2) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius AB and center point B
3) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment that connects the intersections of circles A and B
4) Using the POINT TOOL, mark point E at the intersection of segments AB and CD
RESULTS: Segment CD is the Perpendicular Bisector of segment AB
Point E is the Midpoint of segment AB
