Question

Suppose you are given only one endpoint of a segment and a point that is the segment’s midpoint, but the other endpoint is missing. How can you find the missing endpoint using only a compass and straightedge?

Options

Use the midpoint as a center and reflect the known endpoint across it

Draw a perpendicular bisector at the midpoint and estimate the other endpoint’s location

Extend a random ray from the known endpoint and pick a point arbitrarily

Use a protractor to measure a 90° angle and mark a point along the bisector
