1.
2.
3.
ii. bisect side $overline{yz}$ of $\triangle xyz$.
4.
5.
Step1: For constructing perpendicular - bisector of line segment
For a line segment $\overline{AB}$:
- Set the compass width to more than half the length of $\overline{AB}$.
- With center $A$, draw two arcs, one above and one below $\overline{AB}$.
- Without changing the compass width, with center $B$, draw two arcs, one above and one below $\overline{AB}$ to intersect the previous arcs. Let the intersection points of the arcs be $C$ and $D$.
- Draw the line $\overline{CD}$. $\overline{CD}$ is the perpendicular - bisector of $\overline{AB}$.
For line segment $\overline{EF}$, follow the same steps as above.
Step2: For bisecting side $\overline{YZ}$ of $\triangle XYZ$
- Set the compass width to more than half the length of $\overline{YZ}$.
- With center $Y$, draw two arcs, one on each side of $\overline{YZ}$.
- Without changing the compass width, with center $Z$, draw two arcs to intersect the previous arcs. Let the intersection points of these arcs be two new points.
- Draw the line passing through these two intersection points. This line bisects side $\overline{YZ}$ of $\triangle XYZ$.
