While constructing the perpendicular bisector of a segment, the two intersection points of the arcs together determine a line that is:

Class 9Constructions of TrianglesGeometry
  • Aperpendicular to and bisecting the segment
  • Bparallel to the segment
  • Can angle bisector of the segment
  • Dtangent to the segment

Step-by-Step Solution

Both intersection points are equidistant from the two endpoints, so the line through them is the locus of points equidistant from the ends, i.e. the perpendicular bisector.
Answer: A) perpendicular to and bisecting the segment
