perpendicular bisectors using two different
methods. Measure the two parts of each
bisected line segment. Record each set of
measurements
A: For line segment "a)" I used the compass method, my bisector was at 3.6cm, my total length was around 7cm
For line segment "b)" I used the paper folding method, my total length was 8cm and the bisector was at 4cm

9. Q: A support must be placed under the pool
table at its centre. Make a sketch of the
pool table. Draw the position of the
perpendicular support. Label the support
and label the measures of the table lengths
on each side of the support.
A: The perpendicular bisector is at 117 cm.

10. Q: You draw a perpendicular bisector of
a 30-cm line segment. You then draw
a perpendicular bisector of one of the
bisected line segments
A:
a) the shortest length was 7.5cm
b) the shortest line segment compares to the original line as 1/4 of the entire length.
