What is the relationship between these newly formed segments and the angle bisector? Now using your compass measure the length of segment DC. Using this length, construct two circles, one with a center at D and one with a center at C. What do you notice about the intersection points of the constructed circles? Define: Perpendicular Bisector The perpendicular bisector of segment AB is the line _______________________________ to AB and passes through the _______________________________ of AB. Example 2 You will need a compass and a straightedge Based on what we did in Example 1, experiment with your construction tools to determine the procedure to construct a perpendicular bisector.
