Label the intersection points D and E respectively. Then construct the bisector of ∠ABC by following the procedure outlined below:  Step 1: With the compass point at B, draw an arc that intersects BA and BC. Įxploring Constructions with Geometer’s Sketchpad  G.PS.4b, G.CM.5d, G.G.17a, G.G.28a Use a straightedge to draw an angle and label it ∠ABC.  Write a proof that segment CD is the perpendicular bisector of segment AB. Label the intersections of the two arcs C and D.  Step 2: With the compass point at B, draw a large arc with the same radius as in step 1 so that the arc intersects the arc drawn in step 1 twice, once above AB and once below AB.

Then construct the perpendicular bisector of segment AB by following the procedure outlined below:  Step 1: With the compass point at A, draw a large arc with a radius greater than ❚B but less than the length of AB so that the arc intersects AB.
