Question

is trying to remember how to construct a perpendicular bisector of a line segment. he draws the initial line as a starting point and then writes down all the steps in the table. what is the correct order of steps?
steps
1 place the compass at one end of the line segment.
2 with a ruler, draw a line between the intersections of both arcs.
3 keeping the same compass width, draw arcs from the other end of the line.
4 adjust the compass to slightly longer than half the line length.
5 draw arcs above and below the line.
a. 1,3,2,5,4
b. 1,3,5,2,4
c. 1,4,5,3,2

Explanation:

To construct a perpendicular bisector, first place the compass at one end of the segment. Next, adjust the compass width to over half the segment's length. Then draw arcs above and below the line from this end. Keep the compass width the same and draw arcs from the other end. Finally, connect the arc intersections with a ruler.

Answer:

C. 1,4,5,3,2
