A line segment has 2 end points. The left end point is A, and the right is B. A geometric compass is shown with the compass needle on point A and the pencil of the compass placed about two thirds of the way along line segment A B.

A line segment has 2 end points, A and B. Two arcs, one open to the left and one to the right, are bisected by the line segment A B to the right of its center and left of its center, respectively.

Two arcs are bisected by line segment A B. The arcs intersect at points C above the midpoint of A B and D below the midpoint of A B. A line is drawn from point C to D through the midpoint, M, of A B forming a right angle.
