So can you construct perpendicular lines?

anonymous · Answer

no

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

Can you construct an isosceles triangle?

anonymous · Answer

yes

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

ok so start with constructing one isosceles

anonymous · Answer

ok and then?

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

then, do you know how to construct the altitude?

anonymous · Answer

haha no

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

This is not meant to sound rude, I swear, but what do you know how to construct?

anonymous · Answer

i'm clueless with math tbh, i haven't had a decent math teacher since 4th grade...

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

ok, then can I recommend watching a particular video to help

anonymous · Answer

absolutely c:

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

You see, in order to do the problem, I'd be teaching you about 2 months worth of geometry

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

ok let me find it

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

https://www.khanacademy.org/math/geometry/geometric-constructions This is the entirety of the course that you will need to watch

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

There are 11 videos, you will only need the first like 5,6 but they will be useful for the rest of the course

anonymous · Answer

i'll get on that now then, thanks so much!
