Family of Curves
A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…
XZ Plane
In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…
Euclidean Geometry
Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…
Lines and Angles
In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

Answer to Problem 10.12EX

In order to draw a perpendicular bisector using compass, one need to position the compass at three points .

Explanation of Solution

Consider the diagram shown below:

  McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter E, Problem 10.12EX

Follow the steps given below to draw a perpendicular line:

  1. Place compass at B and draw an arc from A to C.
  2. Place compass at A and C and cut an arc from both points.
  3. Say it point P.
  4. Join P and B by the help of ruler.

Therefore, in order to draw a perpendicular bisector using compass, one need to position the compass at three points.
