The midpoint of a line can be found using either a compass and straightedge construction or a straightedge and tracing paper construction.

To find the midpoint of a line using a compass and straightedge construction, follow these steps:

1. Draw a line segment using your straightedge. This will be the line segment you're finding the midpoint of.

2. Open your compass to slightly more than half the length of the line segment.

3. Place the point of the compass at one end of the line segment and draw an arc above or below the line.

4. Without changing the compass width, draw another arc from the other end of the line segment so that it intersects with the first arc.

5. Draw a line segment from the point where
