Ashton is constructing the bisector of mn¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ .what should ashton do for his first step? place the point of the compass on point m and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is less than 12mn. place the point of the compass on point m and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is greater than 12mn. use the straightedge to draw a line that passes through point m. use the straightedge to extend mn¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ in both directions.

Place  The point of the compass on point M and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass is greater than 1/2MN.

Place the point of the compass on point M and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is greater than 1/2MN.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashton is constructing the bisector of MN¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

The first step will be :

Place the point of the compass on point M and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is greater than 1/2MN.

He will make 2 arcs from M, one above the line and one below the line.

Then he will repeat the same with N and draw two arcs above and below the line.

Lastly he will draw a line passing through both the arcs(where both arcs cross).

This line is the bisector.
