Draw a line segment on your paper using a straightedge. Label the endpoints A and B. Step 2 Draw a point on the line segment between A and B, and label that point P. Step 3 Place the compass point on P, then set the width of the compass so that the distance is relatively small. Then draw an arc that intersects AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ twice. Label the intersections T and V. Step 4 Enlarge the compass setting and place the point of the compass at point T and draw an arc that passes through AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and is above and below point T. Step 5 Keep the compass setting and place the point of the compass at point V. Draw an arc that passes through AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and intersects the arc drawn in the previous step twice. This should construct two points. Label these points X and Y. Step 6 Using a straightedge, draw a line segment through the points X and Y. This line segment, XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, should be perpendicular to AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and go through point P. Step 7 Check your work by using a protractor to verify that m∠XPA=90∘ and m∠XPB=90∘. Step 8 Scan or take a photo of your final construction and save this file. You will upload this file in the next activity in this lesson.
