Question 10 of 12 2 Points What is the best next step in the construction of the perpendicular bisector of AB? A. It is not possible to bisect AB with this construction. B. Use a compass to draw a circle using the lower intersection of the circles as the center point. C. Use a straightedge to draw a line segment that connects the vertices of the two equilateral triangles that coincide with the intersections of the circles. D. Use a compass to draw a circle using the upper intersection of the circles as the center point.

What is the first step when constructing an angle bisector using only a compass and a straightedge? A. Place the compass needle on one of the legs of the angle, and draw an arc intersecting the other leg. B. Mark a point outside the angle, and draw an arc centered at the point, intersecting the vertex of the angle. C. Mark a point outside the angle, and draw a ray in any direction from the point. D. Place the compass needle on the vertex of the angle, and draw an arc across both legs of the angle. E. Mark a point in the angle's interior, and draw an arc centered at the point, intersecting both legs of the angle.
