Answer 1

to keep the same compass width and draw an arc centered at H crossing the previous arc in the image.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The diagram is missing and so i have attached it.

Answer:

Next step is;

to keep the same compass width and draw an arc centered at H crossing the previous arc in the image.

Explanation:

A perpendicular line is to be drawn to line GH through point A.

The steps are;

1. Identification of the two end points of the line which has been done.

2. Place one leg of the compass at point G and draw a small arc above the line GH. This has been done.

3. Without changing the span of the compass, place the same leg of the compass at point H and draw another small arc above the line GH to intersect the previously drawn small arc.

4. Make use of a straight object to connect the point of intersection of the two small arcs to the point A.

This line is the perpendicular line to GH.

In the figure attached, they have just finished point 2 I wrote above. Thus, the next step is point 3.
