Which figure is being constructed below?
Segment A B is shown. The next figure shows a compass that has its center on A and makes an arc from the bottom of segment A B to the top. The next figure shows a compass with the same width as in the previous figure and which has its center on B and makes an arc from the bottom of A B to the top. The arc intersects the previous arc at point X above segment A B and at point Y below segment A B. The final figure shows a line which connects points X and Y, intersecting segment A B at point M.
The first image is of the line segment upper A upper B.
The second image is of a compass placed on point upper A. The compass draws a red arc to the right of point upper A.
The third image is of a compass placed on point upper B. The compass draws a red arc to the left of upper B. The red arc from the second step is now black and labeled upper X upper Y. The newly drawn red arc is to the left of the black arc upper X upper Y.
The fourth image is of segment upper A upper B intersecting a red line. The red line is drawn connecting the intersection points of arc upper X upper Y and the second drawn arc. The point where the line intersects segment upper A upper B is labeled upper M.
