2. Given a segment with endpoints A and B, what figure can you construct using the steps below?
Step 1: Put the compass point on A and draw a long arc. Be sure the opening is greater than One-half A B.
Step 2: With the compass on the same setting, put the compass point on B and draw another long arc. Label the points where the two arcs meet as X and Y.
Step 3: Draw Modifying above X Y with two-way arrow. Label the point of intersection of Modifying above A B with bar and Modifying above X Y with two-way arrow as M, the midpoint of Modifying above A B with bar.

(1 point)
a perpendicular bisector
a congruent segment
an angle bisector

This is a perpendicular bisector

There are several constructions that can be done with the compass.

The constructions include lengths, angles, bisectors and several other geometric figures.

The steps in the question is for constructing a perpendicular bisector.

I've added as an attachment, a figure that illustrates the three steps

Each of the steps were labeled and described,

Hence, the correct option that describes step 1 to 3 is: (a) a perpendicular bisector
