Question

What is the difference between sketching and constructing geometric figures? Give a real-world example of each

Answer 1

sketching tends to be freehand to get an idea of it

constructing invloves tools and precision i believe

Answer 2

napkin skecths as opposed to blueprints is a good real world example i think

Answer 3

napkin doodlings .... forgot how to spell sketch :/

Answer 4

The idealized geometric construction allows only ruler and compass
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruler_and_compasses
Whereas sketching is as Amistre said, freehand and allows for point creation by reference to formulas or otherwise.

Answer 5

are acute angles congruent?

Answer 6

DO YOU THINK:

Argument A: There is a need for students to understand and be able to construct geometric figures using a compass and straightedge.

Argument B: There is no need for students to use a compass and straightedge, and allgeometric constructions should be done using a drawing program.
