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?

A perpendicular bisector divides a line segment into two equal segments.

If the compass setting is changed, the line will not be bisected.

To bisect a line, the positioning of the compass must be done as follows:

The above points are what is being done in the given construction.

Any step or setting other than that, would not create a perpendicular bisector.

Hence, if the compass setting is changed, the perpendicular bisector of the line would not be drawn.

 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: i'm great at algebra

~coco

step-by-step explanation:

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.
