It's time to put it all together! Now that you know how to construct, it's your turn to create your own construction. Using your compass and straightedge, complete the steps below. Draw a line segment and copy it to the right of the original segment. Explain your steps and justify each step used. Bisect the original line segment from problem one. Draw an angle and copy it to the right of the original angle. Explain your steps and justify each step used. Bisect the original angle from problem three.

You didn't post a question.......that's why no one can help. Ask a question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to draw this. That's my question.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Got the instruments?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Use a ruler to draw a line. Place your compass at one end and the pencil edge at the other. Mark off a point to the right. Join the point. Then bisect the angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right now I have two arcs and they look the inside of a protractor.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

which part u need help wid ? copying line or copying angle ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

line

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

say you wanto copy that segment AB

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Tools you will need :- 1. Straight edge (to connect the end points) 2. compass ( To create the accurate distance between the two end points)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do you have both of them wid u ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I did that for the first segment and for the second oe

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you have already done the "copy line segment" construction is it ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wat exactly you need help wid ha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I did the line segment and I copied it.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, then ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to bisect the line segments

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok, its easy... lets see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or how to the original angle

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

first lets do "Bisecting a line segment" construction
