Question

question 8 (multiple choice worth 4 points) (01.02r mc) which of the following is the final step in bisecting a line segment? keeping the compass at the same width, place the compass on the other endpoint and swing arcs on either side so that they intersect the first two arcs created. mark the intersection points of the arcs, and draw a line through those two points. place the compass on one of the endpoints, and open the compass to a distance more than halfway across the segment. swing an arc on either side of the segment.

Explanation:

To bisect a line - segment, we first set the compass on an endpoint and open it more than half - way across the segment, then swing arcs from both endpoints. After that, we mark the intersection points of the arcs. The final step is to draw a line through those two intersection points.

Answer:

Mark the intersection points of the arcs, and draw a line through those two points.
