Put the steps for constructing the perpendicular bisector of line XY in the correct order. A Draw a line between the points where the arcs intersect B Place the tip of a pair of compasses at X. Make the width of the compasses more than half of the length of the line. C Without changing the width of the compasses, place the tip at Y and draw arcs above and below the line, which cross the first arcs. D Draw arcs above and below the line.
