I just don't understand this! (Geometry) 1. Create a line segment, bisect it, create an angle, and bisect it. 2. Cope the line segment and angle from part 1 using appropriate construction tools, and justify each step of your construction process. 3.Based on what you learned about constructions, use complete sentences to write a prediction of how you could copy a given triangle. Create a triangle and try to construct another triangle congruent to it. Justify each step of your construction. Then answer the following questions: Did you accurately construct a triangle? What would y
Did you accurately construct a triangle? What would you do differently next time you constructed it? Were you able to justify each step? Why or why not? The end got messed up, sorry
What I am confused about is, how do you bisect a line segment and angle and what the "construction" process is. I'm not the brightest in math so if someone could give me a basic explanation that would be very appreciated!
See http://www.mathopenref.com/constructions.html In particular, you will want to look at http://www.mathopenref.com/constbisectangle.html http://www.mathopenref.com/constbisectline.html
and here is how to make a copy of a line segment http://www.mathopenref.com/constcopysegment.html
So for dissecting an angle it's basically just dividing it in half?
