Sagot :
Answer:
placing the needle of the compass on one end of the line segment.
Copying a line segment and bisecting a line segment can be done by using a compass when we don't know the lenght of the line segment.
What is a line segment ? what is bisecting ?
A line segment is basically a line which has two definite endpoints denoted by dots at the end.
Similerly a ray has one initial point and the other end of the ray can extend to any value and is denoted by an arrow.
Bisecting in geomerty means dividing lines angles into exactly half of their value.
Coming to the question when we do have the lenght data of a line segment we can simply copy that line segment using a compass. take a compass and put one point of it into one end of the given line segment and the other point of the compass should preciously put into the other p[art of the compass now don't change the opening of the compass and place the neddle of the compass somewhere and mark the point of the other point of the compass then to finish it up just connect those two end points preciously with a scale and a pencil.
Bisecting a line when we do not have the the data of the lenght of the line put the neddle point of the compass on the end point of the line open the compass to about more that half the lenght of the compass ad draw an arc next step is put the neddle of the compass onto the other side of the line and open the compass to a bit more than the half of the lenght of the line and draw an arc. You will see that those two arc will intersect each other one on top of the line and one on the bottom. Join those two intersects preciously with a scale and a pencil and we will have our line bisector.
