Use a compass and straightedge to construct a perpendicular bisector to line QR. Your final answer should be exactly one blue line (not a line segment).

Line l is the perpendicular bisector of segment PS . Unfortunately, S got lost. 1. Use straightedge and compass moves to construct a line perpendicular to l that goes through P. 2. Mark point S. Explain or show your reasoning.

Put the following steps in order to construct the angle bisector of <PQR Adjust the compass to a medium setting and draw an arc across each leg of the angle Place the compass point on the angle's vertex Q Using a straightedge, draw a line from the vertex to the point where the arcs cross Place the compass on the point where one arc crosses a leg and draw an arc in the interior of the angle. Without changing the compass setting repeat for the other leg so that the two arcs cross.
