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).
Added by Tiffany C.
Step 1
Adjust the compass so that its width is more than half the length of line QR. This ensures that when you draw an arc above and below the line, the arcs will intersect on both sides of line QR. Show more…
