1.
Eric was attempting to construct a perpendicular bisector to the segment
with a compass and straight edge.
Which of the below statements explains what Eric may have done wrong?

Eric should have started by putting the compass needle point at the midpoint of the segment
.
b.
On the second step, Eric should have placed the compass needle point where the first arc intersected the segment
.
c.
Erick just needed to open the compass more to create arcs that have a radius of more than half the length of the segment
.
