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.

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Bisecting a segment implies dividing the segment into two equal parts. And to do this, the two endpoints of the segment are required.

Some of the steps required to bisect a segment are:

i. Place the compass on one of the endpoints and open to a radius larger than half of the segment.

ii. Describe an arc on either side of the segment.

iii. With the same radius, put the compass on the other endpoint of the segment.

iv. Describe an arc on either side of the segment to intersect the previous arcs.

v. Join the point of intersection of the arcs on the either side of the segment with a straight line.

Thus, the segment should have been bisected.
