What is a Perpendicular Bisector?
A perpendicular bisector can be defined as a line that intersects another line segment perpendicularly and divides it into two parts of equal measurement. We can draw a perpendicular bisector using a rule, a compass and a pencil.

Two lines are said to be perpendicular to each other when they intersect each other at 90 degrees or at right angles. And, a bisector is a line that divides a line into two equal halves. Thus, a perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB implies that it intersects AB at 90 degrees and cuts it into two equal halves.

How to Construct a Perpendicular Bisector?
Steps:
Step 1: Draw line segment of given length
Step 2:Place the compass at one end of line segment.
Step 3:Adjust the compass to slightly longer than half the line segment length
Step 4:Draw arcs above and below the line.
Step 5:Keeping the same compass width, draw arcs from other end of line.
Step 6:Place ruler where the arcs cross, and draw the line segment.
