When bisecting segments and angles, the step that is the same in both processes is **"Place the compass on the endpoint of the segment."**

In both bisecting a segment and bisecting an angle, you begin by placing the compass on a specific point (either an endpoint of the segment or the vertex of the angle) to draw arcs. This foundational step is crucial in both constructions.
