PLZ HELP! Max is bisecting a segment. First, he places the compass on one endpoint and opens it to a width larger than half of the segment. Then, he swings an arc on either side of the segment. What is his next step?
Draw a point that is not on the segment.
Keep the compass the same width, and place it on the other endpoint.
Draw a ray from one endpoint of the segment.
Keep the compass the same width, and place it on the arc intersection.

Keep the compass the same width, and place it on the other endpoint.

:i think

Keep the compass the same width, and place it on the other endpoint.

I hope this is what you wanted:

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
