Answer:

D. Open his compass so that the distance from the two points of the

compass is wider than half the length of AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step of Joaquin while constructing the perpendicular bisector of AB is to  open his compass so that the distance from the two points of the compass is wider than half the length of AB.

What is the use of compass?

Compass is a tool, which is used to draw the circles and arc with a required length of radius.

Joaquin is constructing the perpendicular bisector of AB.  Steps to construct perpendicular bisectors of line AB using compass,

  • First of all keep the compass at one end of the line AB.
  • Now, by adjusting the compass, draw the arc above and below the segment AB.
  • Similarly, now keep the compass at the another end of the line AB and draw arc above and below.
  • Joint the line where the arcs cuts each other.
  • This line segment is the perpendicular of line AB.

She can draw it by opening her compass as the length from both points of it is greater than the 1/2 times the total length of AB.

Thus, the first step of Joaquin while constructing the perpendicular bisector of AB is to open his compass so that the distance from the two points of the compass is wider than half the length of AB.
