Question 1064542: how do I do these problems: Draw AB with the given length. Construct the perpendicular bisector and choose point C on the perpendicular bisector so that the distance between C and AB is 1 inch. Measure AC and BC.

19. AB=0.5 inch 20.AB=1 inch 21.AB=2 inches

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'll do the first one.
Use the same method for the remaining two.
I made both figures since you didn't provide one.

Figure 1
AB=0.5
BC=1.0
AC is calculating using the Pythagorean theorem,
AC%5E2=AB%5E2%2BBC%5E2
AC%5E2=%281%2F2%29%5E2%2B1%5E2
AC%5E2=1%2F4%2B4%2F4
AC%5E2=5%2F4
AC=sqrt%285%29%2F2
.
.
Figure 2,
AB=0.5
AC=1
BC%5E2=AB%5E2%2BAC%5E2
BC=sqrt%285%29%2F2
.
.
Now do the same process with the different lengths,
