The answer to this question is 2
The similarities are;
- Compass and a straight edge required for both construction
- Both construction includes a line drawn from the intersection of arcs to bisect a segment or an angle
- The bases for the construction of both bisector are the ends of segment and the angle to be bisected
- The width of the compass when drawing intersecting arcs, is more than half the width of the segment or angle being bisected
The differences are;
- Two points of intersection of arcs are used in the segment bisector while only one is requited in an angle bisector
- The bisecting line crosses the segment in a segment bisector, while it stops at the vertex of the angle being bisected in an angle bisector
The sources of the above equations are as follows;
The steps to construct a segment bisector are;
- Place the needle of the compass at one of the ends of the line segment to be bisected
- Widen the compass so as to extend more than half of the length of the segment to be bisected
- Draw two arcs, one above, and the other below the line
- Place the compass needle at the other end and with the same compass width draw arcs that intersects with the arcs drawn in the above step
- Draw a line segment by placing the ruler on the points of intersection of the arcs above and below the line
The steps to construct an angle bisector are;
- With the compass needle at the vertex, open the pencil end such that arcs can be drawn on the rays (lines) forming the angle
- Draw an arc on both lines forming the angle
- Place the compass needle at one of the intersection points and draw an arc in between the lines forming the angle
- Repeat the above step with the same compass width from the other intersection point with the rays forming the angle
- Join the point of intersection of the two arcs to the vertex of the angle to bisect the angle
Therefore, we have;
The similarities are;
- A compass and a straight edge can be used for both construction
- A straight line is drawn from the point of intersection of arcs to bisect the segment or the angle
- The arcs are drawn from the ends of the segment or angle to be bisected
- The width of the compass is more than half the width of the line or angle when drawing the arcs
The differences are;
- In a segment bisector, the intersection point is above and below the line, while in an angle bisector only one pair of arcs are drawn to intersect above the line
- The bisecting line passes through the segment being bisected, while the line stops at the vertex in an angle bisector

Answer:
Answer in explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we would be examining the validity of some statements on the number π(pi)
π Is a whole number?
This is wrong, π is a fraction of 22 to 7 parts I.e 22/7
π Is double the radius?
This is wrong. It is the diameter that is double the radius
π Is approximately 3.14?
This is correct to an extent. The actual value in decimal is around 3.142857142857143 which makes the 3.14 somehow correct
π represents the ratio of the circumference of the circle to the diameter?
This is correct.
Mathematically, circumference C = π * diameter D
Hence C/D = π
π Is approximately 22/7?
This is correct. This is the ratio used for π
