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. 1.Draw a line segment, and copy it to the right of the original segment. Explain your steps, and justify each step used. 2.Bisect the original line segment from problem one. 3.Draw an angle, and copy it to the right of the original angle. Explain your steps, and justify each step used. 4.Bisect the original angle from problem three.
