If you bisect a line segment you will create a perpendicular bisector
There are three (3) ways to construct a perpendicular bisector. Here are the following ways:
1st way: Using a compass
1. Draw a line segment 
2.Sharp end of compass or point A
3.Make an are slightly larger than half the length of the line segment.
4. repeat the process from point B w/ the same sized
5. With a ruler join the two arc intersection with a straight line .
Here's a video and a picture of a finished perpendicular bisector:
2nd way: Using a right triangle
1. Draw a line segment
2. measure it with a ruler
3. divide the measurement by the half way point
4. use a right triangle to create a perpendicular line at the half way point.
This is how it works:
3rd way: Folding paper
1. line segment AB
2. fold the paper so point A falls right on top of point B
3. to crease is a perpendicular bisector

I like how you showd the steps, how you put picture, and a video! Next time try showing how you do the third way. Good job!
I liked how you put pictures and a video! You might want to try explaining your second picture, but good job.
Good job ! i liked how you had steps, pictures and video !
I liked how you explained the things that you did.good job
GOOD JOB CARLO! i liked how you gave a video and pictures to help explain the different ways to bisect line segments. I think you could add a link
Good job Carlo! you did almost everything we need to understand perpendicular bisector, next time you might want to add a link
Good job Cralo R ! I like the video and how you explaned things good job but next time you should put a link !
Sorry ! Carlo !
I agree with the other students. You should add a link. Try this:

I like how you explained the different ways of making a perpendicular bisector very clear. There's just one thing you forgot to do. You forgot to put the third way. That's okay. Good Job!
Nice Job! I like your explination...it really made sense!
next time you should add a link! Here's a link you might want to add

goodjob! Carlo r I like that you explained how to do perpendicular bisector by doing it step by step and putting picture about how to do perpendicular line. Your video really help me a lot.
Good job! I liked the way you had a video and pictures, I also liked your explanations. Next time you might want to put some color on the important words.
Good Job Carlo!I like your explanation it helps alot! But like others said you might want to put a link next time. Anyways, Good Job. :)
Good Job!!!! I like how you explained the steps and your image is nice and like Tinille said you might want to put a link next time but over all you did a great job!!!! Keep Up The Good Work. :)
