Audra was drawing a perpendicular bisector of segment AB with a compass. She started with line segment AB. Then, she placed her compass point on A and opened the compass more than halfway to B. Which of the following is Audra's next step? A Take a protractor and measure a right angle from the middle of AB. В Using the width of the compass from the previous step, draw an arc on AB. (c) Using the width of the compass from the previous step, draw two arcs to the left and right of both A and B. D Using the width of the compass from the previous step, draw large arcs both above and below segment AB.

Ratios
A ratio is a comparison between two numbers of the same kind. It represents how many times one number contains another. It also represents how small or large one number is compared to the other.
Trigonometric Ratios
Trigonometric ratios give values of trigonometric functions. It always deals with triangles that have one angle measuring 90 degrees. These triangles are right-angled. We take the ratio of sides of these triangles.
