Construction of Perpendicular Bisector with the help of Compass

Construct Perpendicular (Point on line) Construct Perpendicular (Point not on line) Construct Perpendicular Bisector (Compass)

Below diagram represent, construction of Perpendicular Bisector of a given Line Segment AB.



In the above diagram, Line Segment AB is given and its Perpendicular Bisector is done in the following steps

1.) With A as centre and radius more than half of AB, draw two arcs on upper and lower sides of Line segment AB

2.) With B as centre and same radius, draw another two arcs on upper and lower sides of Line segment AB, which cuts previous arcs at P and Q.

3.) Join P and Q

Therefore, PQ is Perpendicular Bisector of Line Segment AB.
