Question

the steps for the construction are in order, can you match them to their picture above? 1 point per question. 1. place the compass on one end of the line to be bisected choose an option 2. adjust the compass to just over half of the segment length choose an option 3. without adjusting the compass width, draw an arc on each side of the line choose an option 4. without changing the compass width, repeat for the other end of the line choose an option 5. draw a straight line between the two arc intersections. choose an option what mathematical word did you spell with your answers? 6. true/false: a perpendicular bisector is a line, line segment, ray, or plane that divides another line segment into two equal parts and intersects it at a right angle, passing through its midpoint. select an answer 5 points

Explanation:

Step1: Match step 1

The image showing the compass placed on one - end of the line is S.

Step2: Match step 2

The image showing the compass being adjusted is P.

Step3: Match step 3

The image showing arcs on each side of the line from one - end is L.

Step4: Match step 4

The image showing arcs from the other end of the line is I.

Step5: Match step 5

The image showing the line drawn between the arc - intersections is T.

Step6: Spell the word

The letters from the answers spell "SLIPT". But the correct word related to the construction is "bisect" and the steps are for constructing a perpendicular bisector.

Step7: Answer true/false

By the definition of a perpendicular bisector, the statement in question 6 is True.

Answer:

1. S
2. P
3. L
4. I
5. T
6. True
