1. A student followed the given steps below to complete a construction. Step 1: Place the compass on one endpoint of the line segment. Step 2: Extend the compass from the chosen endpoint so that the width of the compass is more than half the distance between the two points. Step 3: Without changing the compass width, draw an arc on each side of the line segment. Step 4: Without changing the compass width, repeat the process from Step 3 on the other endpoint of the line segment, making sure that the two new arcs intersect the first two arcs that were constructed.
