Answer:

The given statement:

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

Explanation:

The construction of a mid-point with the help of a compass is same as the construction of perpendicular bisector of a line segment.

Also,

To construct the midpoint of a line segment using straightedge and a tracing paper

  • ,start by drawing a line segment on a paper.
  • Next, fold the paper so that the endpoints of the line segment overlap.
  • This creates a crease in the paper.
  • The intersection of the crease and the original line segment is the midpoint of the line segment.

Hence, the given statement is a TRUE statement.
