Help please and thank you!!
Describe a process you would use to create the perpendicular bisector to a segment AB using only an unmarked straightedge and an unmarked compass. How are we getting an intersection of arcs? How are we getting 2 intersections?
This is easier to show by video than by trying to describe it, but it's not difficult !!!

I know but this was my answer and they gave me a 1/3 cause i didn't get the last two questions right... So could you maybe help with that part..?
Step by Step :
1. On segment AC, construct circle with center at A and radius AC
2. And construct circle with center at C and radius AC
3. These circles will intersect at B and D
4. And AB = BC = AC = CD = AD since they are equal radii
5. Now, ABCD forms a rhombus.....and, by definition of a rhombus, its diagonals AC and BD are perpendicular bisectors of each other.
Hope that helps !!!
