Question

the construction of creating the perpendicular bisector of PQ is started below. How would the construction be different if you changed the compass setting in the next step of the perpendicular bisector construction? ​

Answer 1

Answer:  It will not create a perpendicular bisector.

Explanation:

If the compass is the same setting as the first arc and drawn from point B, the points of intersection of the arcs will pass through the midpoint of AB (thus creating a perpendicular bisector).

If you change the setting of the compass and draw an arc from point B, the points of intersection of the arcs will still create a perpendicular line but will not pass through the midpoint of AB (creating a perpendicular line but not a perpendicular bisector).

Answer 2

Answer:

If the compass setting is changed in the next step of the perpendicular bisector construction, the model would not be perpendicular
