Which is the next step in the following construction of a square? circle with center p and diameter ab place compass at point b, and open compass to point p. place compass at point a, and open compass to greater than p. place compass at point a, and draw arcs above and below the diameter. place compass at point p, and draw arcs above and below the diameter.

Place the compass at point A and open compass to greater than P draw arcs above and below the diameter

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise how to construct a square

1. Using your compass, draw a circle and label the center O

2. Using your straightedge, draw a diameter of the circle, labeling the

   endpoints A and B.

3. Place the pin of the compass at point A and open it to greater than O

   draw an arc above and below the diameter

4. Without change the open of the compass place the pin of the

   compass at point B and draw an arc intersects the other arc above

   and below the diameter

5. Join the points of intersection above and below the diameter by a

   segment which is the perpendicular bisector of the diameter AB

6. Label the points where the bisector intersects the circle as C and D.

7. Join points A , B , C , D to form the square.

* Now lets solve the problem

- The step after drawing a circle with center P and diameter AB is:

* Place the compass at point A and open compass to greater than P

 draw arcs above and below the diameter
